Why can't a person be more like a newt?

Wired News has a story about US cardiologist Mark Keating, who wants to turn back on the ability of the human body to regenerate lost limbs and damaged organs. Already our bodies replace skin cells, nails and stomach linings, so why not a liver or a heart muscle? Keating's work is detailed in a story at http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/11.11/regeneration.html. Posted by belinda at October 23, 2003 12:13 PM
