You argue against building the tissue. I buy your argument. Small children can regrow fingertips, yes? Couldn't it be possible to use that mechanism for finger

  My understanding is that there is research in what you suggested. I'm just saying that I don't believe we yet have the technology to grow a finger. Someday, almost surely we will. Just, not for some time. Or so I think.

    They can already regrow a fingertip in an adult, though I think that is (as you said) still in research stages and not available to the general public. Having regrown lung tissue of my own using info available online and no fancy gizmos to speak of, presumably we aren't terribly far off from bigger accomplishments.
