i may be understanding genetics incorrectly...

but even using your own DNA to grow you a replacement jaw bone - assuming you needed the replacement at the age of 18 - would take 18 years to grow yes?

besides i think we are a short distance from perfecting such things.

In the mean time i think this presents something very helpful for people who have been involved in industrial accidents or who have had various bone structures badly shattered - or even for people who have had failed suicides.

I can't wait to see where medical technology is in another 20 years
