      Yeah, other than the horrific ghoulishness of it all, organ failure after transplant and rejection is still relatively high, and you have to be on medicine to prevent that rejection your entire life. You’re going down Putin old boy.

        It wouldn’t surprise me if they have an island of clones to get over that problem.

        You can’t get past the old brain problem though so Donny’s shit out of luck.

      I hope to never have to experience one organ transplant. They are morons if they think this is an elective option you’d want to do multiple times. Every single time is a threat to your life.

        And life-long immunosuppressants with the constant mortal fear of a cough or runny nose. Sepsis is no joke and can easily develop in a matter of hours if you don’t have a healthy immune system.

          I hope we gain more control over our immune systems in the coming years. They protect us, but they can also kill us. I have people in my family with life threatening allergies, and gosh it would be amazing if we could just get our bodies to accept a transplanted organ that is literally keeping them alive.

      Are they hoping for Jupiter, or Repo the Genetic Opera? Because this isn’t even close to Gattaca.

      Either way, this has been a Science Fiction Movie.
