Here is the article, interesting stuff:

"Amputees could regenerate limbs and organs thanks to scientists who have come close to discovering how salamanders grow back lost legs and damaged organs. Axolotl salamanders are now going under the knife - while anaesthetised - in experiments at the Hanover Medical School in Germany. The hope is one day for their genes to be transplanted to people who lose limbs and organs only to see them re-grow."

I really really really am just a teeney bit scared about this. Honestly, Stan Lee can really get inside your head.

Why is this on the site other than the fact that is similar to the lizard origin story? I think it's interesting but it's called Comic Book Movie.com
