Will scientists one day be able to grow whole organs in the future?

At the moment we don't really know if this will happen or not and we would have to wait and see but i think that scientists will be able as they can grow new heart valves so they probably will be able to grow new organs using stem cells because the organs do form when a baby is born so that's probably what scientists will try to do just copy the method and then they should be able to do it. Hope it helped it's my science homework! LOL :)

What difficulty would arise if a person were born without an epiglottis?

One can live without a thymus gland in a sterile environment. Otherwise one cannot live without a thymus gland since there would be no way one can produce antibodies to fight off bacteria, fungi, viruses, etc. The thymus is the main gland that produces the most antibodies.You can lead a very normal life without a Thymus gland. If removed in adulthood, other organs (such as bones) take on the production of T-cells for immunity. T-cells have a very long life and can support immunity requirements throughout a normal life span

What would happen if I were born without a bellybutton?

Everyone is born without one. When you were born the umbilical cord was where your bellybutton is today. Without it you would not have been able to grow inside your mother. When you came out it was cut and then it shriveled up and fell off. There was a scar and that is your bellybutton. You can not be born without one. If there was something wrong with it afterwards it could be removed and nothing would happen. After birth we have no need for it.
