It seems we're well on our way to printing out the simplest of body organs these days using live cell tissues. But let's say your recipient is an Orthodox Jew? Do these piles of cells have a soul at all? How could they? Golem lives!

A soul injector is needed. This is a specialized printing head that has never touched any pork, does not contain mixed fabrics, and is micro-etched with the Star of David using a laser that carries a digital signal of the theme song from 'Soul Train.'

One day we'll simply start printing people as an alternative to pregnancy and birth...

For an additional fee, you could have your organs themselves imprinted with your choice of a selected number of iconographies or signatures, like those grains-of-rice signers. Want the text of the Bible encoded on your heart? No problem!
