You've got a point about the terminal patients. But with amputees, there are risks. In the linked article, the first animal tests were to see if this material caused inflammation or was prone to organ rejection, since previous ideas had those problems. A human amputee risks nerve damage and development of scar tissue, which would make further innovations of this sort impossible. And if he were to develop a fatal infection...

There's a line somewhere after which human volunteers will be welcome, but an amputee is way different from a terminal cancer patient.

I'm not seeing that. Does it appear that way to you at the YouTube link as well?

A once-sentence explanation of that could save two hours of torture.

I haven't read anywhere that they threw her sack lunch away or even took it from her.

I do this: four hours of sleep every night, and two hours in the afternoon.

Yeah, I suppose that part would depend on your point of view...

What could possibly go wrong, indeed.

I expected a comment about the smoking drummers first. It is a French site.

My oldest cat is pretty pushy, but she prefers male humans to female humans. Any time my husband is home, not in the bedroom (where cats aren't allowed), and sitting still, she is all over him just like this.

It 14 pounds, so three stone would be 42 pounds.

I can't believe we've never featured the Blue Fugates on Neatorama before. I wrote about them a few years ago. http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/18314

A much longer article here. http://www.nclark.net/BluePeopleofTroublesomeCreek.html

This is kind of like when Alex wrote about kudzu and so many people were fascinated, but it never occurred to me to write about it because I thought everyone knew kudzu!
