As a mental exercise, look up the medical state of the art from 60 years ago (1956), look at what was known and unknown, and compare it to the current state of the art.
The only thing slowing down this development timeline is the FDA approval process, and that doesn't slow down research much at all.
Given that, I would be surprised if it took 60 years. It may not be 6 but I would put it more around 12 - 15 when we start human trials of organ or limb re-generation.
