| lungs can repair itself.. brain and spinal chord can't.. once you damage your brain or spinal chord, its perminant. |

Which is why when you suffer a spinal injury and become paralyzed, its 99.9% of the time for life. The same with brain cells, cut off oxygen to them, they die, and they dont regenerate properly. |

Anyone can become 'unstupid', its just a matter of whether you are motivated enough to educate yourself. :p |

| Aren't they doing some tests with lizzards and humans? so after a while humans could regenerate? |

A person's lungs could repair themselves, now as far as your brain goes, no. Sure you could regenerate certain neurons and cells but if a part of your brain shuts down, there is no possibility of recuperating it. Your brain is the organ that makes everything else work...your brain has no feeling or a switch to fix itself.
Lungs just take a long time but it's possible...perhaps not perfectly but close enough. |

Indeed they have. But the tests went horribly wrong. These lizard-human hybrids, complete with full regenerative abilities, broke free of their glass confinement areas and took control of the facility. Luckily a specialized team of marines was sent in to take the evil lizard men down and save the world from certain domination at their scaled hands. |
