I know this is not relevant, but apparently infants often can regenerate lost fingers. There is research to stimulate similar regeneration in adults... in case anybody cares.

So, Huggy, have you read about Origen? Your idea on the preexistence of souls sounds similar.
Quote:The material world, which at first had no place in this eternal spiritual progression, was due to the fall of the spirits from God, the first being the serpent, who was imprisoned in matter and body. The ultimate aim of God in the creation of matter out of nothing was not punishment, but the upraising of the fallen spirits. Man's accidental being is rooted in transitory matter, but his higher nature is formed in the image of the Creator. The soul is divided into the rational and the irrational, the latter being material and transitory, while the former, incorporeal and immaterial, possesses freedom of the will and the power to reascend to purer life.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origen
