Regeneration

Regeneration is a documentary film that follows the studies of scientists as they explore the possibilities of regenerative medicine in humans. Computer-generated images can present an idea of what would happen if the human body possessed regenerative capabilities similar to those of certain animals. An arm grows back after amputation; a foot regenerates in just a few days; a head blossoms on the trunk of a decapitated body. Currently human embryo research is forbidden, but alternative research on animal stem cells is showing that it just may be possible to adapt the miracle of re-growth to humans. This one-hour documentary tells the fascinating story of the search for Regeneration.
