Regeneration & Beyond


Well, so much for all the sci-fi writers. Science is finally catching up to all of the writers and visionaries' wildest dreams. Check out this news report where scientists are using the body's own cells to regenerate body tissue, regrow body parts and ultimately regrow vital organs. CBS Sunday Morning Newsmagazine (click to view the video & article) just ran this fascinating story. Now, how long do you honestly think it will be before some enterprising scientist takes these technologies another step further and starts blending human cells and animal cells to create hybrid organs? Think about it, imagine a soldier who has the ability to see with the clarity of a hawk or owl? Or the soldier who can sense with reptillian accuracy heat signatures? Or who can track by smells just like their canine counterparts? Perhaps a muscian/sound tech who can hear a fuller spectrum of sound. What about muscle development for faster speed or greater strength? Forget steriods, this guy really is a Gorilla!
