Fascinating story about a student who received a double hand transplant and the way those hands have changed.

RIP the donor Sachin and praise for his family allowing this Flowers

That was really interesting, though I couldn't get to the end as I kept getting scam pop ups.

I have recently had dealings at work with a person who is on the transplant list for hand transfers, so had a few conversations about it and one of the questions I have is would all my freckles and moles stay if my hand was transplanted, so this seems a really interesting development.

I am not sure how I feel about limb transplants as a general medical intervention, but it remains quite an amazing feat that the hand can go on to develop some degree of normal function.

I have to admit I didn't know limb transplants were even possible.

I suppose the removal of internal organs isn't visible and whilst there is no cold hard logic to it the removal of limbs must be a more difficult decision. Praise very definitely due to the donor's family.

Fascinating. Sadly couldn't read to the end due to the scam pop ups taking over
