  I hope it'll be approved for use in human joint repair within my lifetime. I had torn cartilage removed from my left knee, and the right knee is also torn, but I've been delaying the surgery.

  It is probably going to go through many tests to make sure it is good for human body.

  People will probably die of other causes first since joint replacement tends to happen at the end of the life, and without human movement, metabolism goes down and chronic diseases associated with inactivity go up. People who were active all their life and continue being active even after joint replacement will have to be the lab rats.

  I work in healthcare. You have no idea what's going on. I thought my smartphone was earthshattering. Find something to hang on to.
