I mean he's just got to be beating down their doors on this one....
lets face it, any new design of skin is probably better then what he has. Wait a minute, "he"?
Medicine was not the first "healing agent." Our own body has agents, for instance, as the article stated, the capillaries in our blood, that heal our skin. The blood "oozes" out of the opening in our skin causing the capillaries to cover the injury and, after a long process, heal our skin. The "self-healing plastic 'skin'" is not a replacement for ours, but a material that attempts to imitate the processes our body uses to heal our skin.
