We Can Regrow Him

Spray-on limbs and print-out organs; the cutting edge (pardon the pun) of military surgery

  1. That's pretty amazing. I hope the research pans out!

    Now all we need is one of those salt shaker thingies with the blinky lights that Bones used to wave over ex-redshirts in order to confirm that yes, they were deceased, and we'll be well on our way to The Future as it should be!

  2. I can make the noise of that thing, it goes with my theory that we hold the sounds of the future inside each of us. Proof? Make a motorboat, airplane, or automobile noise. Humans were capable of that hundreds, and many thousands of years ago but had no idea what they were. So when I make a "Bzzzzzapp!" noise I'm predicting the future.
    Or drinking a lot of gin.

  3. The 'Pixie Dust' story in the news a year or two ago has been discredited.
    The model airplane hobbyist's injury was exaggerated and his brother just happened to work AT THAT PARTICULAR biotech company.

    His brother Alan, who works in the field of regenerative medicine, sent him the powder, which Mr Spievak calls 'pixie dust'.
