Pirates all over the world rejoice.
Ping!.................
If the regeneration thing can be made to work, I want to,have a choice of my kidney color.
Will put sex change surgeons out of business...
Great, so when I drop my split personality I can regenerate a new one in its stead....what a great world we live in.../s
This would be great for spinal cord injuries.
FWIW, the same group of occultic studies into genetics and secreting away of giants from archeology and reportedly war zones, is also associated with Nephilim and attempts to resurrect demons. The Nephilim giants reportedly regenerate their injuries and feasted upon humans. One of the reasons David decapitated Goliath after killing him with a sling and a rock.
The article makes one wonder from where they are really gleaning their research and their true intent.
So if the wife or girlfriend chops it off you can sprout a new one ? But how long will you have to wait ?
As we proceed, it might be best to humbly think, ‘The more we see, the more we realize there is so much we don’t understand.’
No obstacles that a little gene splicing can’t fix/s
This sounds like the script from a ST Voyager episode, where a retrovirus (and probably a transporter accident) de-evolved members of the bridge crew.
Do you want ants to wipe out our species? Because this how you wipe out our species.
I knew a guy who was head-on side-swiped by a truck when riding his motorcycle.
It sheared off the entire left half of his body.
He's all right now...
My undergrad advisor was involved in this exact type of research 40 years ago. He was working with red spotted newts. They can grow legs back after they would be amputated. As I loved newts, even as a little kid, some of the extra newts found their way into my own aquarium, gifts from his graduate students. I also did a senior high school science project on the newts’ shedding of their skin and what triggered it, with this professor as my advisor. Later, he became my college undergrad advisor. This current research uses technology that was not available to my advisor at that time. Many labs have been working on regeneration for years. I just wanted folks to know that this research is not a new idea, although it uses different organisms and different techniques.
Paging Dr. Curt Connors...
My family has been able to regenerate damaged stuff for as long as I can remember. In 1960, my brother had had his thumb cur off in a car door hinge. It took him about 6 years but a new thumb grew back (It’s a half inch shorter than original but it’s a thumb). About a dozen years ago, he lost a kidney in a car wreck. Five years later, during a cat-scan they found a new kidney. As for myself, I had a heart attack 30 years ago. A 2-in section of heart muscle died. It took 5 years to regrow and come up as fully functioning. In 1974 I breathed some chemical monomer and it formed a plastic film in my lungs (I coughed blood, plastic film and lung tissue for 4 months). My lungs are perfectly normal now.
So regrowing stuff is not unheard of, it’s just rare.
If you do have this ability, don’t let a doctor know or he will want to test you and do biopsies. They biopsied my heart after the damaged part grew back. Damn, that hurt.
Sometimes I'm amazed at how much of my body is still working.
