Saw an interesting video a while back that tied into phantom limbs. Worth watching the whole video by this guy: http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/view/id/184

He covers three different topics on the brain. The phantom limb piece specifically connects the feelings of phantom limbs to visual triggers.

I wonder whether there would be the same outcry to limb regeneration as cloning or stem cells. Though it's part of your body, I could easily anticipate arguments being made against it.
