It's OK, he did some maths and worked it out.

Oh wait..

He's mattheman, he doesn't need to substantiate his claims with evidence and sources!

TBH 15 years sounds fine for me, don't plan on needing new teeth anytime soon.

Investments don't speed up clinical trials, MHRA approval etc.

The maths on the other topic was correct, you just failed to see how the food industry work % out.
You fail too understand that 45 grams has 2 % fat you still think 1kilo has 2 % fat but using GDA this is nt true, because we are talking about human intake not the % of fat on the item, so there are 2 types of %.

I think I read somewhere the other day that they could make stem cells from skin cells. Plenty of research going on in obtaining stem cells from different methods.

Hopefully. It'll be awesome when we reach a day where any kind of injury can be sustained and still fixed. I guess the growing of replacement organs could remove the problems associated with donor organs and all that as well.

Still, I'm not sure they know how to reattach eyes yet let alone grow them so there will be other obstacles obviously.

I've genuinely just spent the last minute laughing out loud.

anyway, back on topic, I wouldn't mind a completely new set of teeth, mine are too big.

How long until I can grow a second head, or a pair of eyes on stalks?

Yes it does in my eyes.

Here you go mr adminstrator, have £1million dollars and see that this gets through quickly would ya

I'd say that the biggest problem is getting the newly grown teeth to develop in the correct position. It's no good if they stick out every which way or are different sizes/lengths, making it impossible to chew.

Theres a lot of things in the pipeline, heart & lungs are already being grown.

Even if the tooth is smaller it still usable, and correct position isnt really that hard, the living function which is hardest and it seems they done it.

Popper mastication motions require uniformly level teeth. I don't see getting them to grow properly interlocking, with the correct position of molars/incisors being a particularly easy task.

I can see them growing the teeth in a external environment then selecting the appropriate ones then implanting them.
