Leprosy: Ancient disease able to regenerate organs

Bacteria that cause leprosy are shown to safely grow and regenerate the liver, in animal experiments.

www.bbc.co.uk

Leprosy bacteria may hold the secret to safely repairing and regenerating the body, researchers at the University of Edinburgh say.
Animal experiments have uncovered the bacteria's remarkable ability to almost double the size of livers by stimulating healthy growth.
It is a sneakily selfish act that gives the bacteria more tissue to infect.
But working out how they do it could lead to new age-defying therapies, the scientists say.

Science is amazing. Regenerating organs and possible age defying treatments what could go wrong ?!?

But I’m just having well where have we seen this type of stuff before.

What say you GAF?
Oh scenario 2 most likely the rich and powerful become sort of immortal and us plebs are not. So imagine how annoying an immortal musk would be ?

You get a new organ, but your nose falls off.

Science and technology allows us to regenerate organs I see immortality as a real thing in the next 1,000 years.
