    True or not - there probably is a way to get the body to grow back limbs as we know some animals like frogs and salamanders can do it.

    Actually they're Amphibians - lizards are reptiles - but if you want to see mammals ability to heal you should look up stuff on how babies operated in the womb heal without any scars.

    ...stem cell research could let humanity grow back ANY PART OF THE BODY at all... but those religious nutjobs don't want it!

    We could become Immortal, potentially, without a God or Religion... and without being a vampire!

    !
    Stem cell research is going ahead without the religous nut jobs.
    Like everything before it ...it offers much but time will tell what it does and doesn't achieve.
