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.

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.

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 Falc. While we are at it we'll attempt to clone him again.

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.

I don't think I'd go along with such an experiment. I'll volunteer one of my clones though!

Funny...I've learned how to clone myself - just not hair follicles!

Ahhhhh, NN, thanks for reminding me of the friggin clones Falc has. I've been away long enough I had forgot about those little guys!

Which one actually IS the Moderator and Associate Publisher anyway? Was it the little blue-clone Falc guy, or was it that wise-azz Chia-pet Falc?? Hmmmm? Big Grin

I knew those little suckers still had to be active since Master Falc now has almost 6000 posts!

Dang.............Falc, 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! Cool

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...... Not a good thought!
