Just Grow It Back

Real world science has a funny way of parroting science fiction, like when cell phones came out. What do they remind you of?

yea....even if you could regenerate your brain though it would pretty much leave you brain dead.

(i mean it's like destroying a hard-drive and fixing it with new parts...the old data just won't be there anymore)

After making the effects much faster, alot of people going to buy regeneration products and replacement organs, then most of those people will buy alcoholic beverages and go drunk everyday.

It's just inevitable.

P.S. Then some of those people die before they even use the regeneration stuff.

@ZillasElite or you could be simply be regenerated with a brain of a genius...I'm not entirely sure how that would work >.>

Awesome! I can't wait to get my new pancreas! If they perfect this, we can say a long coming and grateful bye-bye to type 1 diabetes.

@nexgensound And that hart thing ... That did it with a human hart a few weeks ago. So that's cool

[nexgensound]

They already can grow skin back using your stem cells. And I mean pretty fast. Like a long weekend fast. They did it with burn victims. And though they haven't done this with organs they can theoretically.

@ZillasElite actually when you remember something, its not stored in your brain, but your brain recreates the events, and every single time something minimal changes, so you most dear memories, might be fake.

I'd get new lungs. Mine are asthmatic and fluidy. lol

No need to worry about your liver. As long as about 1/3 of it is still healthy, it grows back! =D

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Not the red shirt!

@animefreak873 ...um, I did say that hypothetically it was possible,

But it'd be a lot more complex then just .mem to .brain.

The types are completely different, it'd be like trying to turn a gold fish into a cat fish. not exactly "impossible" in fact, it's extremely doable. But the process at which that would need to be done the technology required as well as the time would take YEARS.
