  • Do you love death? What's wrong with living forever?

  • I had the rare privilege of seeing this experiment in person and meeting the brilliant people behind it this week. Seeing the beating rat heart gave me goose bumps. These people are on to something and I just hope some rich folks help them out by throwing more money at the project. It's absolutely awesome stuff, a huge step forward in out understanding of cellular regeneration.

    ROCK ON MEDICAL SCIENCE PEEPS! Kudos to you. :)

  • Grow me couple of kidneys

  • awesome

  • This is fascinating, but I recall seeing something to this back in the late 80's~early 90's where they actually grew a new organ next to the failing one. Does anyone recall that? I remember, thinking, "Holly cr@p!! That's amazing!" and then there wasn't ANY follow-up stories...just dropped completely off the news grid!

  • somebody grow a new brain

  • celular memory is fantastic..... and these scientists are even more....they can heal diabetes and alzheimer right away... the cells are goin to grow back in.... regenerate ... think about the neurones that are goin to stay there forever..... aging is also reversible ... the growin hormone back at its full levels.... damn.... congratulations for this .... there are many retarded humans out there, killing, raping, ... but im glad that we are not all the same! I bow my head to you!

  • @yeahmitch "How many billions of people do you think the earth can sustain?"

    The earth? Not so many. The freaking galaxy? I couldn't begin to calculate.

  • @damianpoirier How many billions of people do you think the earth can sustain?

  • @isolated808 The wealthy are responsible for funding millions, if not billions of dollars every year to worthwhile medical pursuits. Why do you refer to "rich people" as if they are a detriment to society?

  • @ManifestMysteries I actually think this procedure will be available much sooner.
