Nerina this article reminded me of our conversation about nano technology and other advancements in science. It sounds like science fiction but is something coming soon. In the not too distant future, possibly in our lifetimes, theyll be able to regrow body parts and organs from your own cells. Perfect matches to your DNA so no need for immune suppressants for rejection issues. Lorin, theyve already had success with generating nerve tissue, perhaps its applicable to the acoustic nerve? I know they can regrow veins and capillaries, and have used a 3D printer to Print a human kidney. A few years ago I read they had some success with printing hearts and mentioned that lungs were the biggest challenge. Did you ever see the movie Fifth Element where they printed an entire person from a few cells recovered? Thats still science fiction, but bone, muscle, tendon, nerves and veins and many internal organs are all possible... who knows? David Crosby could get his own liver back. sciencedaily/releases/2013/12/131201140209.htm
