what other organ transplants can't be performed today? Skin transplants (skin grafts) are very common but also very limited... the whole skin can't be replaced although patches can. Also what about stomach, intestine, limbs (arms and legs), inner ear, etc.? Seems an exhaustive list of what can't be done at present, and articles on the research towards each, is worth as much attention as the w: whole-body transplant.
- Both stomach and intestine transplants have been possible since the 1990's.--inks 01:25, 15 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Hi! :) All I have to say is, you can't take it with you!! I had a transplant from my twin (it was a kidney) Also, kidney's are the number one organ to fail, and it often accompanies the failing of other organs. (like liver goes, then kidney's)
