To the Christian Community: Why doesn't God heal amputees?

I see people talking about "please pray for this" or "Thank God for healing this person," but what about individuals who have lost an arm or a leg?

There have been no truthful or valid instances of an arm or a leg being healed or growing back, no matter what religion the person is or how hard the person prays.

So, why won't God heal amputees?

Update:

@Cora

My HS math teacher was pretty cool.

She was also a Christian.

(Yes, I know you are a deist, but this addition might help show that even the Christians can be amputated without just reason for it).

Update 2:

@Cougar

Congratulations: That is the worst cop-out to answering a question that I have ever seen.

There was little thought put into your words and you diffuse the question not by actually thinking of it yourself, but by instead declaring that I need to ask your deity to answer the question for you.

Bravo. I have never seen someone dance as far around a question as you have.

    Scientists have succeeded in growing new wins on chickens, and several small pieces in humans. Ears and several organs are capable of repair now and in the not too distant future a lot will be regrown using stem cells.

    Man can now not just cure many diseases and afflictions but actually prevent them. Man can make prosthesis and man is not far from being able to regrow limbs although of course they will grow like that from a baby and take years to become large enough.

    Seems man is becoming more powerful than god and can do things this supposed god cannot!
