So, nowadays, lost limbs can be reconstructed without any genomics and stem cells.

Remember, we are not talking about reconstructing something that LOOKS like a limb, we are talking about reconstructing something that SERVES as a limb.

If you reconstruct bones, and muscles, and blood vessels, and nerves, and joints, and skin,
then your item LOOKING like a limb will SERVE as a limb.

Do you have any evidence to support a claim that it is currently possible?

No, I have not. But I am looking for the opportunity to prove that it is possible in a way I have described in rough details!
 
I believe that it is possible and with time will be done as the progress that Mankind is making is exponential and the fact that it already happens in other animals even though they are quite different from us proves that amazing regeneration is possible.
 
(there seems to be a problem as my last post seems to disappear unless I send another after it!)
