Is This Possible?

A couple of days a go in my science class, we were learning about Stem cells and we watched a video about how Zebra Fish are capable of repairing their hearts if they become damaged, so I wondered, is it possible for Norns to be able to repair organ and body tissue if they become injured?

If you add certain genes for such, yes, then they can repair their own organs. Creatures already have some of those, but weak ones. They are using Prostaglandin to repair the organ they are in. That's reversing the effect of Antigenes.

If you mean that you point with an agent on a creature, take a sample of a healthy organ it has and then push it into an ill creature to restore it's version of that organ, then a clear and simple no. Absolutely not possible.

Huh? That's perfectly possible, Papriko. :P
All the agent has to do is check the health and chemicals related to that organ in Creature A, and copy these values to Creature B. If the creatures are too genetically different this will fail though. As you'd expect.

Ow, transmitting chemicals, thats an option of course.
I've been thinking on genetic level again XD

But yes, when you wanna do it on chemical level, then AS is right. Then it is perfectly possible. Targeting the creature, some simple variable storing and then adjusting the second creature with the CHEM command.
