Whoa. Cool stuff!
Might be a bad idea to give to anyone with a predisposition for cancer, though - I would think it would accelerate the growth of any tumour. You *could* just hope that if you do get a tumor it'll be somwhere amputatable and that you can then regrow the tissue, but there's only so much tissue you can cut out before even regeneration becomes stupid (Think "Marie Antoinette").
More so, if you were to grow back, say, an entire leg; that's a lot of growth to oversee, and it'd be happening faster (I'm guessing, unless you want to spend 10 years regrowing your leg) than at the carefully overseen and controlled rate at which we normally grow. I wonder what the chances of a defect forming in the new tissue are...
