I especially liked the bit where he was complaing about not being able to eat steak fast enough. They grew you a new f**king jaw dude don't bitch about the details.

Growing a whole new body is no longer the domain of sci-fi it seems.
This is excellant news, though I found the bit about growing the human ear on the back of the mouse sad. Good friend of mine is a biologist and we have a moritorium on discussing what is done to the animals at the University labs. On the bright side he's designed mice that can live 3 to 5 times as long. Unfortunately, they spend their entire lives (he has racks of cages at home with experimental left-overs that were destined to be destroyed and which he doesn't have the heart to do so he sneaks them all home) spinning around in furious circles.
I write about this kind of stuff in my works. It's nice to see contemporary science catching up to pipe-dreams.
