         Doesn't matter if the removed part of the pancreas can grow
back or not. Point is anyone can live WITHOUT a pancreas. Lexie was
wrong when she said a donor could NOT live without a pancreas. It's just
not true. Chelsea's COMPLETE pancreas could be removed and she could
live to be 100.    

        As far as the regeneration of a partial pancreas, I don't know.
I do know the liver will regrow if part of it is removed for
transplantation. I don't know if it gets back to full size or not. When
a lobster loses a claw for whatever reason, it will grow back, but is
smaller than the original.

       The whole point is though, that Lexie was 100% wrong. People can
live even if 100% of the pancreas is removed.
