New treatments could come from another angle altogether

Why can't we transplant hair like we transplant organs?

was talking to my friend the other day and to my amusement she thought that a hair transplant was from someone elses hair!

after lololing hard it later occurred to me that this wouldnt be so bad. If you weren't bothered by having someone elses hair follicles in your scalp then why not? I did some research and very quickly found that organ transplants, as much as they seem awesome, come with the draw back of possible rejection and/or side effects to the anti rejection drugs.

Then i remembered this story in the news recently.

now i know its still probably with some risks but, but the point is with organ transplant technology improving so fast transplanting another persons hair follicles might become a risk free, piece of cake quiker than any of these fail companys deliver a cure.
