wired.com — Genetically altered mice discovered accidentally at the Wistar Institute in Pennsylvania have the seemingly miraculous ability to regenerate like a salamander, and even regrow vital organs. If the results can be translated to humans, it would be a dream come true for people who want to live forever.

Dupe, misleading, old news, and it doesn't regenerate the brain.

When a cell copies itself to regrow a limb, i would retain the age of the original cell. So the new cells would die at the same time the old ones would have.

those mice's ear holes looked very photoshopped =/ then again, its wired news, so i'd say they are legit. no form of life is meant to live forever...scientists need not try to play god.

Sounds creepy, it said that when the SUPER mice's blood was injected into normal mice they became SUPER mice...sounds like a zombie mouse movie. Why is it that most of the people who yell 'DUPE!' always have some kind of link to their site below that. Wouldn't it be nice if digg users could 'digg' users off the site? Get rid of the retards around here. But I digress, intresting article with some intriguing comments.
