Senior Member Mr T Posted February 19, 2003 Senior Member Share Posted February 19, 2003 Can one person be the donor for another? For example, my brother says he will never get a HT, so he'd be willing to donate his donor hair to help me achieve a better result. Is this legal? ethical? possible under certain circumstances? If so, what are they? (same blood type, etc.) Thanks, Mr. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Dr. William Parsley Posted February 20, 2003 Senior Member Share Posted February 20, 2003 Even though it is small, a hair follicle is a small organ and will be rejected just like a kidney, heart, etc. It could be done with a good match and anti-rejection drugs. Would hair be worth the side effects and the increase risk of cancer? It is not practical. However, if you have an identical twin somewhere, you would be in business.
