Organ Replacements

Welcome to Organ Replacements. Organ Replacements are most often accomplished by organ transplants – using a donor’s organ (or part of an organ) and replacing it into the recipient. This goes back to the original heart transplant decades ago. Organs that can be transplanted are the heart, kidneys, liver, lungs, pancreas, intestine, and skin. Tissues include bones, tendons, cornea, heart valves, veins, and arms. Worldwide, the kidneys are the most commonly transplanted organs. Some life extensionists suggest that therapeutic cloning and stem cell research could one day provide a way to generate cells, body parts, or even entire bodies that would be genetically identical to a prospective patient. Proponents of body part replacement and cloning contend that the required biotechnologies are likely to appear earlier than other life-extension technologies.
