      Maybe one day.

      currently stem cells can be used to grow skin tissue and possibly organs. If we develop this further then who knows what could be possible.

      Yeah i dont know. but there is an awesome video from an Italian video where they strip all the cells of a pigs heart i think and then re grow the heart using stem cells and it even beats. it look amazing. Although it was on the tv and I am no expert so I dont know the limitations of this documentry.
