Human limb regeneration is not fully possible at this point in time. The reason is that certain cells cannot be restored or "regenerated". For recovery of limb loss cells must be taken from another body that is alike to the one with limb loss. Stem cell research is the closest thing humans have gotten to regenerating and yet it is not funded but this is aside from the question. If a human were to regenerate a limb on its own it would require a extreme excitement of the cells healing the body and would dramatically shorten the life-span of the one recovering. The fact of the matter is, every injury and every moment we spend recovering from tissue damage leaves less cells to regenerate the body and provide a life-span and use of cells.

Stick insect regeneration prosess?

Stick insects, like many other arthropods, can regenerate lost limbs through a process called autotomy, where they intentionally shed a limb to escape predators. After shedding, a new limb begins to grow during subsequent molts, although the regenerated limb may be smaller and less functional than the original. This ability allows stick insects to survive in their environment despite predation and enhances their chances of reproduction. However, regeneration can be energy-intensive, and the insect may experience vulnerabilities during the regeneration period.
