>>Tissue engineer Kevin Cronin of the Bernard O'Brien Institute of
Microsurgery in Melbourne told delegates at a recent meeting of the Royal
Australasian College of Surgeons that he has successfully grown breast and
fat tissue in rats, mice and rabbits. If the technique works in people, it
could be used for cosmetic surgery or breast reconstruction after
mastectomy.<<

Do you all see the additional implications here? If they know how to grow
breast tissue, what might be done for the woman with insufficient mammary
tissue and failed lactation?
