  1. Being subscribed to this TED channel I know enough about genomics to tell you that regenerated limbs do not exist. Your inability to show me but a regrown fingertip says enough. It simply does not exist right now, which means it's still science fiction.

  2. Haha, A WHOLE FINGERTIP? You said LIMBS.

  3. I'm not saying limbs can't be grown, I'm saying that we're very far from growing limbs straight from a body. Organs haven't been grown inside a body yet, they've been grown in vitro.

  4. You haven't shown me a regrown limb yet, so they can't be regrown yet.

  5. Regrowing whole limbs straight from the body? Ha, sources please.

  6. I am not. I fully subscribe to the potential of stem-cells. But you're turning it into a fairy tale now. Regrowing limbs straight from a body is a fantasy. You're going over the fact that whole organs like bladders are already grown in vitro and then surgically placed into a human body. That's the whole point of the post you were responding to. Stem-cell techniques needs surgery in order to be implemented in the body.
