We don’t have the tech. Cells are tiny factories capable of ingesting nutrients and producing little chains of proteins, fats and other stuff.
We don’t currently have the ability to build machinery that small. With CRISPR we kinda start to tap into that power, to modify genetic code to do what we want, but it’s still far from reliable enough to create a potato 3D printer. We’re big monkeys with big hands and it’s hard to manipulate tiny things.
