Stem Cells Generate Working Organs

EDITED

From medicalnewstoday.com, for a direst link click the title.
News realeased on the 4th of March.

The article states that stem cells, once extracted from enbyos/humans, can then be connected to the circulatory system in animals in rder to grow working organs that can be used in the human body. Meaning patients needing serious liver or stomach transplants have less to wait. But will this also lead to further animal testing and could there be long term effects for these patients?
