Mike,
I suppose it might, someday, be possible to re grow a visual
system, but what's missing in those who have never seen is the
learned processing that happens when you're young.  that is
surely not genetically encoded or a new born would know how to
interpret vision as well as an adult does.  Surely not the case.

so I suppose one would have to go strip out all your early
memories, and everything that's built on them, and let you start
again at babyhood level teaching your new brain everything all
over again.

No thanks <grin>
