If you sever the optic nerve of a frog, it'll find a way to reconnect all those millions of fine axons and restore vision.Not brain cells. Those are in limited supply. The ship is still apt, though. Just as their are minute variations that account for the differences between persons, there are even finer variations that account for the differences between one person over time.
Moreover, you've heard how your body replaces most of your cells every seven years. In other words, you're a living ship of theseus. So I'm not entirely sure hyperfocusing on restoring every single original cell is even necessary, maybe the answer is simply to replace them wholesale with spare cells. When you've lost blood we don't mop up every blood cell and put it back in, we just give you a new batch.
As a digression, what then are your thoughts on abiogenesis? Is it somehow easier for life to emerge by itself from scratch from the environment than it is for it to re-emerge in a cell with all the necessary components already there?
No one thinks that life emerged by itself or from scratch.
