Scientists Grow New Teeth Using DNA
Dentures could soon be a thing of the past thanks to some British scientists.

A team of researchers in London have the ability to grow teeth in laboratories because of advances in stem cell research. Scientists at London's Kings College believe these latest developments mean people could someday grow their own replacement teeth at home.

So far, researchers have successfully grown molars, but the incisors and canines are proving more difficult.

Perhaps eventually we will be able to grow a new everything; heart, lungs, liver, kidney, etc. etc. eliminating the need for organ donations. Will your insurance cover it? Heh.
