I won't be happy until they heal you when you walk over them. :p

OK, that is ridiculously cool.  Here's hoping the clinical tests go well.

This is actually pretty cool news. In the midst of all the drone, robot, artificial intelligence research and development I'm glad someone's still interested in healing the human body :P Bonus points for not being double-edged. The cynical side inside me would argue that research like this is going to get curbed down the line or kept artificially costly but we'll see.

I'd like my order of Medi-Gel to not contain Reapers though.

I'm curious as to how this doesn't immediately kill the patient....

Live testing on purposefully wounded animals will happen eventually. Me thinking mice, rats, pigs, maybe monkeys?

I'm wondering how it doesn't get into the body and cause clots.

i gotta be honest, i got a bar story kind of vibe from much of that article.  "no seriously guys.  that TOTALLY happened.  dude fell in the bonfire, and we rubbed this **** we happened to have on him, and the next day it was COMPLETELY HEALED!!!!"

They probably shouldn't have put that in the article that a person was a guinea pig.

EDIT: And of course whether or not it was true. I figure i must add this.
