If you saw someone regenerate their body what would you do?
I can't find the article anymore, sadly, but I had read an article about 2 poeple who could regenerate, one was a little girl who had regrow a lost finger, it regenerate itself and another was a man who had the same thing happened on one of his toe, and it was even medically proven, they could regenerate themselves if needed be
Everyone can regenerate, its called healing and its what happens if you get yourself injured, however, the speed and effectiveness of the healing depends on the health of the person, the wound's state (if its infected or not) and how much tissue has been lost, also picking scars is counter effective to the healing process.
Larger wounds obviously take longer to heal and losing a whole arm is not something you will get back. Now, I have also read somewhere about a few people regenerating the tips of their fingers but that is not extraordinary because compared to a whole missing finger or arm, not much flesh and bone have been lost.
Heh..

Good ol Merkl.Regeneration isnt as far off as we think.I met a guy,through my father in 1980, who really made some advances in this very thing.
He is dead now...murdered.
His lab was burn down three time shortly after he made some pretty remarkable discoveries.
Thats most likely Stem Cell research he was doing, and Stem Cell research really sets of the wacko pro-lifers.
He was all about that ATP in the later years of his life...the Chondriana.
It came from fruit juice,not stem cells.
But most of his 400 + patents are still sealed by the goverment and thats why he wouldnt patent the process to get this ATP.
Not only is it possible,its probable that we will be doing it before long.
This is a little of what Dab was referring to with stem cells..

Regeneration shouldn't me taken too far. Population is already a problem as it is.
Speaking of cannibalism, some tribes used to believe they gained power by eating their enemies, some of the abilities were better healing and increased strength.
The native americans called it the wendigo.
if it was dr who id aske him to get my parents to have their honeymoon in the tardis.then i could regenerate
