I volunteer to be the first real-life Wolverine. (After it's been perfected on one of my clones.)

Wow a new cosmetic procedure! If say you had a tattoo on your arm you didn't want. Why risk imperfect laser removal, chop it off and grow a nice new one.

If this works as well as they say, it could be the biggest boon to medicine since anti-biotics. It could make our current life expectancy into a joke. You might hit middle age at 60 or 70 instead of 40. And, of course, it would require that we change our retirement system entirely.

wait...wait...regenerates lost tissue, but not the brain? can be transmitted from organism to organism simply by the transference of living cells? is the product of man's hubris?oh, s**t...zombies.

A comment was made that mice have similar DNA to humans. Well, both species do indeed have this thing called DNA, but they are not that similar. The reason that mice are used in most lab experiements is thier life cycle. Whereas the average human has a 70 year life cycle on average, your average mouse has about five years to get it on with all his mousey ways. This is critical for studying the effects of generational mutation; where the new genentic info is passed from parents to children. Mutants aren't made they are born. I don't know if mice have thier version of Magneto, but if they do, I think humans will be pretty sorry pretty soon.
