Still experimental, but definitely a huge step forward.
Though still very far away, but this ain't gonna come cheap.

Either way, they have to find a way to synthesize stem cells, grow or clone them or something for this to be viable for wide demographic.
For one thing, Tiff is not on any level what I would call a typical American.  She's not what I would consider a typical person.  I don't know any other genius geneticist anime-fan martial artist marksman model-level beauties, do you?
