Printed organs, especially the brain, are easily 100-200 years away from a technology standpoint. We will live on places other than the earth by the time this tech emerges if ever.

How can you equate creating an artificial brain to something vastly more simple in comparison such as an organ? Yes they are both complex tasks but one is quite clearly unfathomably more difficult to accomplish than the other. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to think we’ll see printed organs aside from the brain within the next few decades

Brains are an organ. I hope you are right with your guess because millions of people need them asap.
It is my guess they are 40-50 years away from printing skin and simple organs like heart, liver, bladder, etc and that will be 100-200 years later. My guess is never on a complex organ like the brain.
