Did you mean permanent ?

yup

Thankfully, the average human only usees 3% of their brains, so the chances of you messing up an important bit are quite slim

negative! the other 97% is actually what makes humans have the ability to have logic and reason

I believe that there's a huge chance that stem cell research could regenerate spinal cord and brain cells. It worked in mice.

Although today I heard of developements where they have cured rats with paralized limbs,they use tissue taken from the nose,the area from the nose to the brain is the only nerve line that continually repairs itself,and they took some tissue and planted it in the spine of some rats and they healed.

no it cannot. what it can do, such as, you do drugs everyday, and then u stop doing them; the brain cells you have left compensate for the deficiency by forming more connections than usual, but as always, you can never get 100% compensation past certain points.

maybe for thinking, but not for body function. u lose one part of your brain, you lose some function, no matter what it is..

Lungs can 'repair' themselves till you reach the age of 30 (this depends on the individual). I smoke 10 to 15 cigarettes/day for the past 7 years, and so far I've never had any trouble breathing or so smoking is so addictive

by 'drugs' I'm assuming you also mean caffeine, sugar, and the like as well?

A liver, by itself, within the person cannot heal itself if it has been damaged, thats why they have liver transplants. Although your damaged liver cant repair itself, a piece of a healthy liver can aid in healing.

Originally posted by Aiwendil 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.

I thought 1 escaped the marines after killing a dozen of them. they are still looking for the foul creature of the swamp.

I think he ran to that evil dr.laden
