Do you know where they are coming on advanced/faster growth? Like the rate
at which something grows? I heard about them using headless human clones for
organs within the next 5 to 10 years, but there would be a problem with
growth, I mean by the time the patient's specialized organ would be ready it
would be way too late. Sorry if this has already been discussed. It looks
like im missing some posts, like the ones on headless frogs, could someone
send me them?
thanks
