In this episode, we were able to have an in-depth conversation surrounding not just Amy Karle's major artworks using 3D printing and Bioprinting, but also her personal journey as a bioartist and the meanings behind her artworks. The two works we focused on include :
1. Regenerative Reliquary, which is a bioprinted scaffold with stem cells in the shape of a hand in a bioreactor to grow bone tissue
2. Heart Evolution, which is an artistic alternative design for a "better" heart that potentially could avoid existing
Some of the questions we explored include:

What does bioprinted organ replace imply to humanity and our identities?

Who has the right to live and access the new and expensive technology that can prolong life?

Who will have access to bioprinted or 3D printed medical devices first?

What makes something beautiful (Aesthetics)?

Why is it important to make something beautiful (or not)?

What is the role of an artist in terms of aesthetics?

Why is 3D printing (especially in medicine) often perceived as beautiful?

How does an artist feel about generative design? Threatened by robots?
