About the brain regeneration, would we really want that anyway? Whatever is regenerated you wont have the same person back as you're going to lose memories and personalities and things. Still, could be useful on the battlefield.

Actually, that is the very reason they use mice. It translates very well to humans. You just don't hear about it in those terms. Where do you think the drug testing happens? They don't go from theory to humans in one jump. They test a lot, and mice are great because of their fast generation rate.

I was watching a news story on mice research and they have been able to do crazy **** with mice like shrink brain tumors in a matter of days, but they also went on record as saying that they haven't found a way to translate alot of these medical miracles to humans. Perhaps my statement was an uneducated response, but one thing always holds true for the medical industry and that is there is no money in curing anything.
