Senior Member irish homer Posted November 17, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted November 17, 2007 As with any body tissue, it is not possible to transplant from one person to another without taking anti- rejection drugs for the rest of your life, acceptable for a heart,lung or liver but not for hair, no matter how much we want it.

Senior Member hairbank Posted November 19, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted November 19, 2007 Not sure, Chucky. I believe I did hear that it would work with identical twins since genetically they're the same but I'm not positive and can't reference any material about it.

Senior Member NervousNelly Posted November 20, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted November 20, 2007 Lets try it. I think that it would be a good experiment for the associate moderator. We'll pay some homeless individual looking for next drink and try to transplant to Bill. While we are at it we'll attempt to clone him again. NN Dr.Cole,1989. ??graftcount Dr. Ron Shapiro.

Senior Member chucky Posted November 25, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted November 25, 2007 yeah nearly all the homeless individuals you see swigging alcahol at 9.30 in the morning have full heads of hair so a good candidate for a hair swap. 2 x strip ht`s with Norton,very poor results 1 x fue ht with DHI,very poor result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll volunteer one of my clones though! Funny...I've learned how to clone myself - just not hair follicles! Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which one actually IS the Moderator and Associate Publisher anyway? Was it the little blue-clone Bill guy, or was it that wise-azz Chia-pet Bill?? Hmmmm? I knew those little suckers still had to be active since Master Bill now has almost 6000 posts! Dang.............Bill, c'mon, tell me how the whole cloning thing works........I really need to make up lost ground for my lack of posting lately...........and I can always use more hair!

Regular Member Ailene Posted December 2, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted December 2, 2007 It would work for identical twins.... but the twin would have the same hairloss.... so the only time they would probably be a willing donor would be after death......
