I checked your group's website and it looks like a great group. You've got my respect for being part of such a group.

I was able to find an article showing at least a few Iraqis receiving some help from surgeons in America. These aren't the same prosthetics, but I thought the article may interest you. These injuries weren't due to the latest war, but I hope much more humanitarian aid is given to the area. I would also be impressed if these extensively researched and expensive systems could find their way to all low-income Americans through a revamped health care system soon.

Thank you for posting this video. Along similar lines you may enjoy the link below about research on how to trigger in humans limb regeneration similar to the way Newts can do:

Thank you very much for the link. I'm having problems getting the video to show, but I'll try again later from Firefox. I try to keep up with stem cell research, so this should be a great video for my armory.

I've been a longtime fan of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and can't believe I haven't looked up their website yet. I'll be browsing the site for days most likely.

Thanks again.

You will definitely enjoy the Howard Hughes site Holiday Series. You may also enjoy the following link on regenerative medicine:

Thanks again. I've seen a few of the TED videos, but hadn't seen that one. I'm browsing through them again. Take care.
