I live in France (altough im not french so really miss tv shows in english) and see this nice message: "We're sorry but This video is not available in your region due to rights restriction" Some people really just don't get the internet! well... i am going to have to look for sites that "offer" this video

I couldn't find the video on youtube, vimeo, or Google.

If someone in the US using a mac can be bothered, do the following:

Install get_flash_video ( http://code.google.com/p/get-flash-videos/wiki/Installation ):

  curl -o get_flash_videos http://get-flash-videos.googlecode.com/files/combined-get_flash_videos-1.24
  chmod a+x get_flash_videos
You may need to install a cpan module. First run:

  cpan
then

  sudo cpan Crypt::Rijndael
Finally:

  ./get_flash_videos http://video.pbs.org/video/1754537562
And you should be able to get the video. Then upload it to youtube, I guess... or post it up somewhere and link it from here so the rest of us can watch it...

Note: this can be done on a windows or linux PC too - just adapt the instructions appropriately...

This video was incredibly informative for being so short. The idea of harvesting pig organs, rinsing out the cells so only the natural protein scaffold and blood vessels remain, then reseeding it with the donor's own cells is amazing. This technology is advancing much faster than tooth-replacement techniques.

3D printing of organs is also really awesome.
