From an utterly naive perspective re: printing brains. I'll assume you mean down to the electron or smaller sub atomic particle. The thing about it is the motion of things within it on the fly too so it seems to me. To give an example that I understand a bit better, why not an engine while it is running. Printing out the individual bits and pieces while it is static would be/is relatively easy. Perhaps even printing the whole thing as a whole static non-moving thing. But as it is in motion, reproducing that such that you end up with an engine that as printed is in fact running? No, I don't think so. And, again so it seems to me, that second engine example would be much more analogous to printing out a brain that works.

Sorry, I meant NPR has a podcast, not the Daily.

I just listened to the podcast where you talked about the permanent savings time bill going through congress. What you didn't mention is that many of the senators didn't know what was passing:
Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.), whose job is to count votes as minority whip, learned the legislation had passed from reporters.
“Whose bill is it?” Thune asked, somewhat incredulously. “It passed?”
Sen. Richard J. Durbin (D-Ill.), the majority whip, also learned from the media that legislation to make the “spring forward” permanent had passed the chamber.
“Made what permanent?” he asked
The Daily had a good podcast of how this snuck through unanimously. Many senator aides didn't think that it was a serious bill so they didn't alert their bosses.
