    Default "New Hope For Regrowing Severed Limbs, Just Like Lizards' Tails"

    I was surfing the net when I stumbled upon this article about humans growing limbs like lizards! I find it fascinating how far science has become (in this case, regenerative medicine). I wonder how far this can really go. Would we be able to remove a damaged lung and have it regrow? (I'm no doctor here so I really have no idea what is and what is not possible.)

    The full article can be found here:

    Another report is the possibility of 'Curing' Diabetes by taking cells from a good organ and transplanting them.
    I wasnt sure however if the organ used comes from a cadaver or can be 'harvested' from a living donor.
    I stand unequivicably behind everything I say , I just dont ever remember saying it !!
