Time will tell the consequences of these large procedures. Planning or not there is going to be a whole hell of alot of unhappy patients looking for corrective surgeries in 5 to 10 years time. The crap is going to hit the fan when technology changes as it always does. There will be a better method for hair transplant or cloning or whatever and the people who supposedly caught their hairloss early so they can enjoy it while their young are going to be kicking themselves in their rear. Remember people: 4 mm plugs, multi blade excision, mini grafts, micrografts, single blade excision, fue, now hair multiplication...technology is always changing. Most of these doctors will be retired and on the beach even if HM put them out of business tomorrow. The docs can occupy themselves by looking at the backs of guy's heads after they get out of the ocean...a little game called spot the smiley. Those labotomy scars made them 10 to 20 thousand each.
A couple of things: I cant see how a HT can get much better than recreating the natural grouping of FU as it happens now. The only things that could improve I believe are creating a better illusion of density with a limited no of grafts and creating an even more undetectable scar.

Hair Multiplication or Hair Cloning will increase business as doctors will be able to have more hair to transplant.

Your last point is valid one what happens when you lose the rest of your hair and run out of donor. The only prevention for this at the moment are the meds which are clinically proven to at least slow down the hair loss. But if technology improves like you say and Hair Multiplication or Hair Cloning becomes a commercial reality than we have nothing to worry about as we would have a near limitless donor supply.

But without technological advancement than it is best to take a conservative approach because the worst thing about signing up for HT's is when you run out of donor supply and are unable to make corrections.

I appreciate the open minded posters on this forum who are not scared or stubborn to face the reality of hair transplantation.
