Would You Like To Regenerate?

The question is, “Would you like to regenerate?”

If a lizard (a reptile) lost part of its tail or you cut a leg off of a Salamander (which is also amphibian) it will grow back.

However, although we can grow an embryo, with bone, muscle and intricate blood vessels we cannot like a Salamander regenerate a leg if it was removed.

After your born the only thing humans can regenerate well is our epidermis; the top layer of our skin.

Whist sharks can continuously replace lost teeth, and spiders can regrow legs, we cannot.

So, although our technology is advanced for humans on our world, it appears that amphibians and reptiles have the upper hand in regeneration.

Although that may be the case but they’re not immortal for they are also doomed to become food for a much larger predator.

But the question still remains, “Would you like to regenerate?”

Well you’ll have to wait for scientists to figure that one out, in the meantime look after your epidermis and your teeth.
