Regrowing Lost Body Parts Getting Closer All the Time
[TheBORG] writes "There are two stories on Yahoo! News about regrowing lost body parts. One is about regrowing lost fingers & limbs and the other one is about regrowing teeth. The story about regrowing lost fingers and limbs talks about the experimental use of powdered pig bladder to regrow fingers and eventually lost limbs for soldiers and others in need from information that Pentagon-funded scientists hopefully learn from studying the salamander. The story about regrowing teeth talks about how Japanese scientists used primitive cells and injected them into a framework of collagen. Once grown to a certain point, scientists implanted the growths into mice where the teeth developed normally."
What I hate about people who complain about this is that they don't even know for sure what they're missing. You'd have to have experienced living both cut and uncut to know what was better, and men who get it done later in life don't count for various reasons. I'd suggest you don't spend so much time thinking about a rather insignificant fold of skin (previously) attached to your penis; the amount of fervor (on BOTH sides) amazes me.

Nope, sorry. Christianity (Any form of it), islam and judaism all swear that there is One True Book and that Every Answer Is Within This Book. While there, naturally, are people with more common sense than to surrender their entire life and thought process to a great fiction book, the tendency is clear all the way through.
Religion breeds fundamentalism breeds stupidity stops progress.
Oh fuck you, Agnostics are fence sitters that dont know if there is a god or not and some dont even care. Athiests believe god does not exist, get your facts straight. And religious people stand up and say "I am right and you are wrong because thats my religious beliefs (or thats whats in the Bible)" and all that garbage. Religion in of itself is anti-progressive. Saw on YouTube this christian preacher with a bunch of 5 year old convincing that dinosaurs never existed because the earth is only 6000 years old and said "have any of you children ever seen a dinosaur?" If that is not anti-progressive enlighten me what the fuck is?
Make SELinux enforcing again!
