Crazy!!!! I saw another article or post showing how we can use stem cells to regenerate heart tissue and basically grow a new one. I think that study was done on pigs hearts. Stuff like this kinda confirms the theory that WE are the aliens!

yeah I posted that article on the heart in Infamy's thread. Can't remember if I posted this here or not but the first hamburger made from lab-grown meat has been produced and I think sold for human consumption. It's too costly right now to be feasible but I think eventually it will be affordable, and ethical to eat too.
