The article "Turning wood into bones" from Duncan Kennedy in BBC News attract my interest. When I read it, I don't wonder how can wood become the real bones? Will people use the wood to instead of bones?
In the artice, it's about the way of creating new bones for humans. "Scientists in Italy have developed a way of turning rattan wood into bone that is almost identical to the human tissue." (¶ 2) "Within a few months, the real and the artificial bone will be like one continuous bone." (¶ 20) Mr Marcacci said that the accident with major trauma or cancer of the people can use it, the current range of alternatives may be weak, not with the existing fusion.
I think the new wood bones is a good way to help the disabled or skeletal deformities people to be health again. These kinds of bones is easier than to fit the bones from other people. The bones are make from rattan wood, I think it won't more expensive than real bones, therefore people who have problem with this may try to catch the opportunity to be more available.
