"Pentagon Plans to Regrow Human Body Parts"

The Pentagon is actually going to find a way to regrow lost limbs and bones using the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or the DARPA for short. Their main goal is to replace a muscle that has been lost. They have already completed Phase 1 of there plan, which was to reprogram human skin cells to act like stem cells. Do you think that the DARPA can really achieve this goal?

    Wow. Seems interesting. But it has the potential to go wrong. What if the muscle becomes deformed? If it becomes a success it sounds like it could be very useful, but the problem is to be able to make these kinds of things without any flaws.
