Science is moving to regrow limbs and teeth. Little by little, making the Watchtower irrelevant - I love it.

The only thing that really prevents humans from naturally regrowing limbs is the limited belief we can't. This is why I love science as it begins to explore, in baby steps, making something possible. But from the consciousness point of view, all they are doing is breaking through a limited belief system that says something is not realistic.
They used primitive cells, not quite as early as stem cells, and injected them into a framework of collagen, the material that holds the body together.
After growing them, they found their structures had matured into the components that make teeth, including dentin, enamel, dental pulp, blood vessels, and periodontal ligaments.
They were "arranged appropriately when compared with a natural tooth," the researchers reported in the journal Nature Methods.
The fact that they used only primitive cells - but the new teeth were 'arranged appropriately' display the body's innate wisdom for all the cells to communicate effectively with the primitive cells.
The powder is mostly collagen and a variety of substances, without any pig cells, said Badylak, who's a scientific adviser to ACell. It forms microscopic scaffolding for incoming human cells to occupy, and it emits chemical signals to encourage those cells to regenerate tissue, he said.
Those signals don't specifically say "make a finger," but cells pick up that message from their surroundings, he said.
"We're not smart enough to figure out how to regrow a finger," Badylak said. "Maybe what we can do is bring all the pieces of the puzzle to the right place and then let Mother Nature take its course."
But "we are very uninformed about how all of this works," Badylak said. "There's a lot more that we don't know than we do know."
Again, the body's innate wisdom knows exactly what it needs to do. At the moment, all humans can ever do is try and tap into this - which is what they are beginning to do. Like everything though, one answer only opens up the door to a million more questions.
The amazing thing about all this is that as more people grow even the smallest of fingertips, the consciousness of humans begins to change until it becames 'normal and expected' that this is possible, and everyone will be able to do it.
Cells are fascinating!
Thanks for the articles Metatron.
Thanks for that, metatron.
I wonder if either of these articles will ever be featured in the awake?
