This brings up some intersesting questions.
How long after death are doctors able to harvest scalp tissue and still have a reasonable chance of a successful transplant?
Do you have to match tissue?
Like regular transplants, wouldn't there be tissue rejection issues?
Would the receipient have to take medication the rest of his life to prevent rejection?

I agree with Stingray on his one. Whats the diff between getting someones liver or getting someones hair? They should just rip off the entire scalp and stitch it onto my head.
Like I said before...call me when you find that dead Koren/Native?Mexican cross, I'll be there in a flash. :hairy:

oh yeah, and although i see no problem with extracting follicles from a fresh corpse, i can see the ethical dilemas this would cause. vital organs to save a persons life is one thing, but when you start using parts of the body for aesthetic reason, then it seems like you're kind of taking away the person's humanity (even though he's dead) and treating him like a junk yard car where people just strip apart and use whatever they need. although, who knows if such a procedure would work out all that well, because of reasons stated in above posts etc...

I doubt anyones robbing corpses for hair. If someone donates their body parts after their dead than what does it matter?

How about this?
Do you think women are going to want to run thier fingers thru your hair if they know it's from a corpse?
About as much chance as getting a hummer from a women if she knows your johnson has been transplanted!
Gives a whole new meaning to the word "stiffie".

How about from the scrotum??
This is from The Spoof.
Researchers at the University of Texas have stumbled upon what may be known as the cure for baldness. Skin grafts using scrotal tissue, on the scalps of over 300 bald volunteers, have shown to be near perfect in promoting renewed hair growth to those volunteers. University of Texas Professor Frank N. Stein, PhD., and several of his students are being lauded for this monumental discovery.
The procedure was submitted to the American Medical Association for review last week after all 300 test cases were complete. It is now up to the A.M.A. to approve the procedure as medically sound. Once the A.M.A. has placed it's stamp of approval on the procedure, scrotal grafts will be made available to bald people throughout the US and eventually the world.
Dr. Stein is eager to gain approval for his procedure, for which he is certain to become a rich man in a short period of time. The procedure was actually discovered by accident. One of Dr. Stein's students had a pet rat named Gracie that had gotten burned over 40% of her body. Dr. Stein suggested grafting Gracie's burned skin with good human skin in order to ease the suffering of the rat.
The only available skin to be found was on their anatomy class cadavers, and the only skin on those that was worth using were the scrotal sacs. He and his students performed the grafts on Gracie and three weeks later when the bandages came off they were all completely surprised. Gracie had grown hair where there had only been burns before.
This led to experiments on other types of animals and then, of course, to humans. The procedure is safe and, as with all grafts, a bit painful. But the pain is short lived and acceptable to those bald fellows who volunteered.
There are a couple of drawbacks to the procedure. First is that the new hair never grows straight. All test subjects have kinky hair, actually resembling pubic hair or an afro. For people plagued with going bald, this seems to be an acceptable drawback. Second is finding men willing to sell their scrotums. Although, cadaver scrotums seem to work fine if the scrotal tissue is still pliable and stretchy.

Hm, good point.
This thread reminds me of the poor people in South America (mainly in Brazil) who sell their vital organs on the “black†market for money (kidneys, spleen). Although this is a terrible way of exploiting people in need, I could see that there would be a market for people selling a "strip" of hair instead of a kidney. BTW… I'm not supporting this "business" but you would think that it would be a more viable option than hair from a corpse??
Would you consider hair from a another person if you knew that the person was alive??

I think any transplant doctor will tell you that the body will reject anyone elses hair follicles. That was one of the first things they said for sure, when h.t.s were new. Donor hair from the original donor was the only hair that would 'take.'
Speaking as one who had a gazillion transplants, and still ran out of donor hair before the job was done, I have mused about having my sister act as a donor. I don't know if it would work, and I've never asked her, or a doctor if it would work, but I've thought about it. She's got a ton hair she'd never miss. Similar bloodlines and dna. Who knows?
But if they COULD get someone elses follicles to take on a persons head, imagine all the guys doing life in prison with full heads of hair, going to waste. It would be great to have a book of their the mug shots and offer the prisoner some amount of money for their donor hair. The'd never need it. It would be a win-win situation. But alas, back to reality....
