What biological magic do we need to harness to regrow limbs. Newts and crabs can do it. I know we aren’t newts and crabs but we’re smart.
A human embryo grows limbs from nothing. Why can that happen only once? Why does skin heal but fingers can’t grow back?

Stem cells. It's low key annoying that 99% of /sci/ threads can easily be answered by Google AI now. Literally STFU and type your question into Google and you'll get a better answer. kys

I guess crabs needed the ability to regrow limbs because they get their limbs cut often and if not they don't survive. Humans don't need them because that is not so often.

your own limb, probably not but we can grow an genetically neutral limb and attach it to stub, not sure about the neurology, the thing is if your body is x years old, thats how long it takes to grow your own limb, if you lost a limb at 30, you are not going to wait 30+30 to get your limb backin the future you will just be given a pre-grown limb from a limb generator that grows body parts for amputees, this makes sense
