Termyn8or -> Grow new limbs ? (5/20/2007 7:39:40 AM)

I am surprised nobody has mentioned this.
Using cells from a pig's bladder they have gotten some amputees to grow a new limb. I have only heard about a finger, a few things, nothing like a whole leg as of yet.
I also don't know if it can be used to regrow organs. Could I possibly pluck an eye out and just take some of this stuff and have it regrow a nice new one ? If I could I would, my eyesight is terrible. Really, I can barely drive. Or could diabetics grow a new pancreas, or could one grow a new gall bladder, things like that ? What about diabetics with the gangrene, or people with burgess ? (sp)
Just what does this stuff do ? Force RNA into compliance with the DNA or something ? If so cancer should be history now. Wouldn't you think ?
There has been talk for a long time about getting the body to grow a new set of teeth. Not sure where it went, but I always thought it plausible, we already grow two sets, why not a third. Just make the body think it is young.
As we know, some lizards etc, grow new body parts when they are lost, torn or cut off, whatever. Simple logic makes people think this phenomenon is confined to simpler organisms, but further analysis begs to ask, why ?
Evidence mounts that we are closest to pigs in body chemistry.
You know pigs are not dirty by nature, and they are not happy in the mud. They are kept in the mud so they can't run away, they are fast as hell.
I think this is a fantastic breakthough, and I can't really believe how little media attention it got. I guess American Idol is more important.
