I swear I read 15 years ago that the Russians had successfully transplanted 
the "seeds" of teeth (but from where? - dead kids who hadn't got their 
adult teeth yet?) into the gums of adults who had lost teeth, and had 
them develop correctly with no problem.

As my dentist says, given what people can do these days, that one ought 
to be a slam-dunk; but he doesn't recall reading anything about it.

Anyone know about this?   Are there problems with it?  Or are we pushing 
up against something that people are just uncomfortable with?  And if so, 
is there a cryonics message here?
