If you HAVE to shorten it, use Bira, it's better.

As I said, they perhaps could modify a (meta)human egg-cell to have
it
become a gigantic morule (is that it? The name is from Embryology), a
mass
of non-specific cells, and have part of it grow into the organ or
bioware
they need. Then it's just a matter of taking it out of the vat (or
separating
it from the morule) and implanting it.
