New body parts 3D printed for damaged corpses by funeral home
By Rhiannon Williams | Telegraph.UK | 31 MARCH 2016

A funeral home in China has started using sophisticated 3D printing technology to create missing body parts for damaged corpses.

The issue of 3D printing human tissues and full organs for living people is a hotly-contested technological issue.
