We can already do this, the growing organs and muscles part, and in a far easier way than re-engineering one cell type into another. I don't know what the goal is at such a scale, considering that *individual* biological entities are a pain to program and keep under one programming. This is all on the microscale and cells at such a level have a tendency to rewrite their own coding at an incredibly rapid rate.

I guess we could build super organs?

But we can already do that too...
