Since living things already do all sorts of tricks like regrowing limbs, have babies without sex [self-cloning] and all sorts, it seems just a matter of figuring out how to do it and then doing it cheaply enough, for anything except our brains to be replaced, and even parts of those might be replaceable other than the non-cognitive/memory departments. For example, motor neurones don't seem to be very necessary for thinking if we judge by Stephen Hawking's situation. So that part of brains could be replaced, and no doubt all the reptilian components could too such as brain stem, amygdala and stuff. Thanks for the info about human bladder replacement with a cloned one. I don't know what Geron works on though I recall years ago they were hot on telomeres. Mqurice
