wired.com— In response to the hundreds of soldiers coming home from war with missing arms or legs, Darpa is spending millions of dollars to help scientists learn how people might one day regenerate their own limbs.

Theres a treatment out there somewhere that promotes tooth growth with ultrasound. If I remember correctly, it can promote regeneration of an entire tooth. Not quite as good as sharks have it, but still.
Well, MIB was my second thought, to be honest. My first thought was an image of arms and legs growing out of an oversized bread-maker like appliance sitting on my kitchen counter.
sounds like a waste of money. no animal can regenerate entire bones.. it would have to be some very wierd/invasive/far-off future technology. the goal is a bit lofty for the time being. it's almost like endorsing alchemy before nuclear chemistry was even understood. they'd be better off putting their money into making perfect artificial limbs, perhaps even covered by your own skin.

Can I have like 6 arms six legs, and is, well, you know considered a limb, or still an organ.
