Scientists grow jaw in man's back muscle

Sounds like some sort of DOOM 3 creature...

This is pretty good for a "chocolate making country." I wonder if having no limits on stem cell research helps them. I expect to see more of these amazing medical breakthroughs in the future in Europe.

He eats steak now, but complains to his doctor that because he has no teeth he has to cut it into such small pieces that by the time he gets to the end of the steak, it’s cold.

Waaah waaah waaaah I want a jaw.

Waaah waaah waaaah I want teeth.

Sheesh, some people...

In all seriousness though, that is a perfect example of the amazing accomplishments of modern science.

Ah, yes, but they plan to give him some teeth in the future, if everything goes well with the transplanted jaw.

This is so cool.

Good thing Bush is trying to limit stem cell research here, then. Can't have a bunch of people going around getting new jaws. Next thing you know, they'd be yapping up a storm about how we need more stem cell research.

Call me when they get the technology to grow and implant a tail. And maybe a pair of lupine-style earlobes.
