OK, that is just awesome and I don't say that often. Next up, growing whole replacement organs from healthy organ cells. No donor needed. Still need hand donors I suppose. :grin:

So the "historic" means the extent of the transplanted part.

First double hand transplantation was to this guy, as far as I'm informed.

Just a thought.....Criminals could find this "handy" (sorry!), different finger prints? :smoke:
