Senior Member Mahair Posted September 9, 2005 Senior Member Share Posted September 9, 2005 I am going to donate my scalp to science to show how much destruction can be done by an unethical slob of a "doctor" (Wild Bill Magdalin) Maybe I will confront his family to show them his handywork, the computer makes for a small world. Anyway hair can only be donated from an identical twin to the other. "The first cut is the deepest." Cat Stevens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdtaylor Posted September 10, 2005 Author Share Posted September 10, 2005 So, it is not possible to transplant hair from one person to a different person...Any doctors out there care to address this question? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Robert_ Posted September 11, 2005 Senior Member Share Posted September 11, 2005 rdtaylor, There was research into this question a few years ago, but results were always dismal. The hair follicle is an organ like any other and the body has a tendency to reject organs. The medication and treatment involved in "conventional" organ donation would be cost- and health-prohibitive for hair follicle donation. I will try to find some official literature to post here. -Robert ------------------------------ Check out the results of my surgical hair restoration performed by Dr. Jerry Cooley by visiting my Hair Loss Weblog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
