3rd Article

I figured since no one had posted an article in a while I'd throw this one out there..

This article is about the prospect of using the study of amphibians to help learn about the regeneration of limbs. English researchers are observing frogs and salamanders in hopes to learn about their regenerative abilities. These scientists hope that they will be able to use their research to aid humans who have had amputated limbs. I think it would be amazing if we could make a scientific breakthrough of this sort, however, I wonder if there would be any consequences to whatever procedures this might entail.
