Not sure if that was a "tongue-in-cheek" comment but if not then for info purposes, your kidneys does not normally regenerate and it cant if you take it out completely. You are thinking of your liver which can depending upon how much of it is lost/damaged. These is some stem cell research going on that allows kidneys to regenerate but I dont know what the success has been with it. Certainly in lower species, there is evidence of kidneys regenerating. However, an individual can live with one kidney but you would have to hope and pray that nothing happens to that one for the rest of your life.

What's he going to do when the newer one comes out next week that's got a slightly different design and is 0.2g lighter?

At least the gene pool is being cleared out somehow

He can sell his other kidney and buy a new i-phone with the dialysis app.

Good point, because there is an app for everything (except not being an Apple-philiac)

I've had a productive week, got a new kidney and managed to get rid of a faulty iPad...
