Wow, so if i'm reading correctly, they are now going to take that new nose and transplant it back on his face? That is some unbelievable science fiction stuff that if you told some one in 1980 they would slap you.

And why can they grow a nose on your forehead, but not hair, you ask? Well it's simple, there's no market for growing noses. It's just a one time fix. There's a huge market on hair loss, they can milk us for as long as they want and unless you are a highly intelligent Biology/Chemistry major with a PhD and a mission to end hair loss without the FDA, there's nothing you can do about it.

BTW, isn't a hair transplant essentially growing hair on head? I guess you can say hair cloning in the future.

Its kind of apples to oranges growing tons of hair safely,cheaply,quickly is different then growing one single organ like a nose. Going from cutting edge very expensive procedure like growing this nose to some common treatment for the average joe takes a long time. Growing unlimited hair to change NW 7 back to NW 0 is going to happen someday I think its highly likely its just all a question of time and I think 10 years at the very least but probably longer. Just guessing is all we can do

They can also make teeth using urine.

There's never going to be a cure for cancer, diabetes, baldness or AIDS because they make a lot more money with treatments

You do realize whoever cures hair loss will make an unfathomable amount of money? Pretty well incomprehensible sums of cash.

And those who are currently making money of treatments are a few companies at best?

Out of here with your conspiracy garbage.

Damn that nose on his forehead looks weird.

Also current meds are commercial failures

The total # of fin users in the world = less than the # of balding men in London. Not even 1% market penetration

They've been saying there will be a "cure within the next 10 years" for how long now?....

I agree it sucks. However it is not because of current treatments
The company that solves baldness will make its investors FILTHY rich. Finasteride is making no one rich

Why they grew him a nose right on his forehead? Does this gonna leave a scar?

[burtandernie]

It will be cooler when that nose grows completely in the lab and they start growing hundreds of different noses at the same time.
