I think that I can allow for skin, muscle and tissue to regen, but I have to stop at bone. I don't know what makes bones grow with us as we get older, but I do know that you can come back 1000 years later and all the tissue and such are gone...the bone is still there. Loose the bone, loose the regen. I would say stump in that case.
When Wolverine didn't have metal, his bone claws were broken off, and they grew back.
Most people think Wolverine is over rated, but Iceman has survived as a head until he was able to find a water source.
Hulk can now grow gills and regenerate almost just from bones.
