A few weeks ago , we told you aboutthe guy rope who regrew his fingerbreadth using some “ slovenly person powder”that his biologist brother supplied him with . It sounded mistily made - up , but it turn out the U.S. government took the pig powder stories very seriously indeed . As CNN reported today ( see cartridge holder ) , the military is pouring millions of dollars into experiments with the pith . It ’s being used on soldiers who have lost finger’s breadth — and perhaps other limb , later — in the hope that it will fool prow cells into creating fresh body parts for people who have drop off them in accidents . Here you could see a jolly gory guessing of the operation used to insert the pig detritus into a man ’s finger stump . ostensibly it will only take workweek to regrow . We ’ll keep you post on whether that actually works out .
