I used to believe that the body would replace any severed limb eventually. This was (most likely) because when I visited the 1976 Paralympics in Toronto with my parents, I noticed that the arms and legs of a few of the athletes (the Thalidomide victims, I realized much later) were quite obviously in a state of growing back. I also remember thinking that the athletes were really cool, keeping up their sport while they were still recovering from such a horrible accident.
