Australian Science Makes the Regenerating Mouse

FruFox writes "Australian scientists have created mice which can regenerate absolutely any tissue except for the tissues of the brain. Heart, lungs, entire limbs, you name it. This is the first time this has been seen in mammals. The potential implications are positively mammoth. I thought this warranted attention. :)"

    I think it just means another civil war. People will die for the right not to die

    (Presuming governments try and withhold the technology).

    People will die in mass over population if the government give us this technology.

    People will die in riots if the government give us the technology but try to control over population with laws controling birth rights

    It at time like this I wish I hadn't read Kim Stanley Robinson's 'Red Mars' series.
