As noted in your article, one of the ways to address the problem relating to the need for organs and tissues for transplant is biomaterials. In his TED talk, Atala (2010) states that the use of smart biomaterials is one of the ways for promoting human regeneration. The demand for smart biomaterials for bone tissue engineering is fueled by the growth in the aging population. The increased demand has resulted in recent advances in and use of smart biomaterials in the field of medicine (Montoya et al., 2021). Over the past few decades, a wide range of smart biomaterials have emerged and are classified into four categories i.e. inert, active, responsive, and autonomous. According to Montoya et al. (2021), inert refers to smart biomaterials with the ability to be simply biocompatible or cause no harm while active biomaterials are those that release at least one-way bioactive therapy. Responsive are those that react or respond to stimuli by releasing certain therapeutic agents while autonomous are biomaterials that adjust their therapeutics or attributes based on biological processes or environmental changes.

…essence, these biomaterials release their therapeutics by responding to biological processes resulting in bone regeneration. Scalable fabrication technologies like three-dimensional printing and powered procedures are processed into stimuli-responsive biomaterials for bone tissue engineering. In addition, extensive research like Calcium Phosphate Cements (CPCs) have undergone advancements since the 1980s to improve biological performance by making them stimuli-responsive. Recent advances in medicine for bone tissue engineering are in line with Gods regenerative power as shown in Ezekiel 37:1-10. God commanded Ezekiel to speak to the dry bones and when he did, they came back to life. Therefore, bone tissue engineering through stimuli-responsive biomaterials…

(World Bank, 2007) Modern approaches to plant cloning or tissue culture techniques have been utilized by various nurseries in Thailand and the U.S. To bring rare and new species of plants in the commercial market, sometimes even before the botanists can manage to give the species a name. (Ogden, 2007) Tissue engineered products have a bright marketing potential since they provide better alternatives to other forms of treatments. Cartilage and
TISSUE ENGINEERING TISSUE ENGINEERING 1Tissue Engineering and Regeneration of the Holy Spirit in ChristianityRegenerative medicine is a clinical field focused on the replacement, repair, and renewal of organs, tissue or cells to restore damaged function (Damiano et al., 2021). Tissue or cell damage could occur due to multiple issues, including trauma, disease, and congenital defects (Damiano et al., 2021). The terms regenerative medicine and tissue engineering are often used interchangeably.
Heart Valve Tissue Engineering Benefits Tissue engineering came about as early as the 1960s with advances in tissue culture technologies to propagate skin cells (Vesley, 2005). It has advanced to other areas of cells through the years, including heart valve tissue engineering. One in eight people aged 75 years and older suffer from a form of valve disease showing an increasing trend with age (Mol, 2005). For adults, the need arises
Engineers should focus on the improvement of the performance of the economy. This relates to the transformation of the theories of controlling the world and adopting new frameworks in the operating in conjunction with the planet. New engineers need to adopt and implement new theories of focusing on the economic, social, and political concepts in relation to both technical and nontechnical disciplines (Cameron 2010 p.40).

Thinkers and writers like Jeremy Rifkin, author of the Biotech Century: Harnessing the Gene and Remaking the World, voice their opposition to cloning. He and others are concerned that cloning with provide unethical incentives. "...we believe that the market for women's eggs that would be created by this research will provide unethical incentives for women to undergo health-threatening hormone treatment and surgery."
