Part 2 Pushing the Limits of Healing - BBC Explorations

Explorations this time examines the marvels and mysteries of the human mind and body. From brain implants to artificial intelligence, we explore the complexity and achievements of the human mind.
The ideal would be to be able to grow new body parts from our own cells. Nature does this already. Adult salamanders can re-grow tails or even limbs that are lost. They have cells in their bodies that can transform themselves into other types of cells, to make bone and muscle. These are called stem cells - and we also have them in our bodies. Research is being carried out all over the world to find the triggers that will allow stem cells to become new body parts.
Through our knowledge and understanding of our brain and body, we are learning to extend and preserve life. By pushing ever further at the boundaries of our inner space, we are unravelling more of the mystery of life. By commanding nature, we have begun to take control of our own destiny.
