Scientists are trying to make human body parts for people who need them. The liver is most difficult to make in a lab. In order for the body parts to be big they have to grow them. Soon human body parts are going to be sold in markets. The body parts will also be in hospitals in them future. The word I was unsure of is molded. I used context clues by looking at the sentence that molded was in.

Alexander Seifalian initiated the process of making body ermisionparts in labs. Liver is the most difficult to be made in a lab. The main idea of the text is to grow various body parts in labs.The material Sheifalian uses to make ody parts is to protected.Other scientists cannot copy the material without permission. I don't know who Alexander Sheiflian is because when I saw his name I don't know what he does and what he do. Alexander Sheiflian is a professer at University College London. He is the scientist leading the effort. The answer of the person's name was right in front of the preson's name sentence and the answer was in a sentence do and about what Alexander Sheiflian do and does.

Scientists from england are growing body parts for the people tht need them. Their goal is too make the worlds first nose using stem cells. They say that its like making a cake only with a diffrent kind of oven. They say that in 2016 Sumitran Holgersson is going to do more of this if the goverment gives her permission. Only a handful of patients recieved these body parts from london. The word that i was confused with was windpipes. Using context clues i could infer that it is a body part.

In this article, English scientists are making prosethesises for people who don't have them. They are often made to look like the original organs. They're made with stem cells and polymer. The parts were supposed to sell in 2016. Other body materials to build a prosethesis are used besides stem cells. For example, to make ears, a material from the ribs is used.

Scientists in England are growing noses,ears,and veins in a lab.They are making body parts for people who need them.The liver is the most difficult to be made in a lab.Ears are harder to make than noses because it's tricky to copy all the ear's lines and curves.Finally,children who need new ears must have a major surgery.The liver is a word I don't know.I use context clues to find the meaning of the word by reading the sentence of the word and looking at the sentences before and after.

Professor Alexander Seifalian heads in research and making of human body parts. Some of the body parts they are noses, ears, and veins. They say that making a ear is harder then making a nose. Ears are curvy, and have different lines, while a nose is plain.
One of the words I did not understand was various, which mean many. I found the definition after seeing the list of "various body parts are..."
