RE: The entire genome of the axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) has been sequenced, and might give us details about how it regenerate lost limbs and damaged organs
Growing new damaged organs is pretty awesome, and while we are waiting for the scientists to find the secret, we can 3D print our organs :)

3D printing organs is really cool, and I honestly believe that this will be the used technology (and not something made from biological processes) for recreating lost limbs. At least for a long while, and who knows what we are capable of doing in 50 years from now?
I bet we don't have a clue on what we can do in 50 years from now. Time travel? :P
Exactly, no one can know what type of technology we have at that point. Maybe creating new organs/limbs is not even needed anymore because we've found something better to replace it with? ;) Maybe a bit of a stretch for 50 years though, and time travel probably is as well. But who knows?
