A healthy specimen. Have you ever used it medically for burns or insect bites? It's great.

I have tried some Aloe Vera products, which i have been impressed with, but not the plant, yet.

I shall have to try it.
What happens to the plant? Does the leaf grow back, or just stay as it is? I assume it must seal itself where it's been cut?
Sorry for all the questions by the way :-)

It is used for skin irritation as well, the sap is applied to an open sore, it works, for pimples as well. I've seen people do this here.
