See Incredible Transformation of Paralyzed Mice Given Nanofibers in 4 Week Study Breakthrough
This is hugely promising. It worked well enough almost immediately. This strongly suggests that old injuries can be approached by using microsurgery to eliminate scar tissue, followed by injecting this faux scaffolding. In fact, if the tissues are at least reatteched, the process can be done in steps to avoid disturbance of the join. Important nerves are cut often during surgury causing immense difficulties.

So that part is not easy at all. Then we have the proposition of Japan. We still have serious historical antagonisms between Native Japanese populations, former internal slave p... read more

We can also limit small boats to specific areas to avoid random disturbance and give the whales priority for peace and quiet.
