My boyfriend just said that if an infant gets its finger cut off it will grow back. I'm not saying I believe him, but before I bother to look this up to see where he got this crazy info from, I want to know if anyone else has heard this.

Well a fetus can re-grow a lot of body parts and babies can actually re-grow a finger TIP (not an entire finger), they are working on a using substance from pigs to help the regeneration process!
Strange but true…

I don't think a whole finger will grow back, maybe the tip.some doctor is working with a pig extract and is having sucsess helping people grow back fingers, I read about it in the paper last week.

Fingers don't grow back - just like foreskins on baby boys don't grow back after they get circumcised!

Why on Earth would that even come up as a topic of discussion???
And the answer is no, it will not grow back.

If your boyfriend told you the sky was green i suppose you would believe him. Use your common sense girl. Why don't you stop playing around and asking stupid questions. You are the one who told us you were giving birth to a starfish. Go and do something constructive with your life and stop wasting every ones time..............

Your boyfriend is confusing human babies with lizards or starfish.

Yes it can as long as you keep it in place and take them to ER to wrap it.
