Birth of a new finger

Lee Spievak lost part of his finger while making a model plane. One would think that there was no hope for regrowing it, but his brother, who works in regenerative science, sent him powdered cells that caused it to grow back.

Some science groups are claiming that this is impossible, but what if it really did happen? This would have major implications for war victims, burn victims, you name it victims.
