Darkskinlaser,
I dont want to put water on a fire here, but not ONE of those post transplant photos would induce me to try body hair. Timetesteds body hair transplant is much better than what he had before, but what he had before was a disfiguring disaster. The hair is still wavy and "untrained" as it veers off in all sorts of directions. Someone would have to learn to love hairspray apparently to wear hair like BHT.
Theoretically, one could keep their hair clipped very short and have a headful of hair with BHT. The cost would be extrodinary and remember, you will have little white scars at the recipient sites ALL OVER YOUR HEAD. SO you will look like a burn victim if you buzz the hair too close. Two hair follicular units will not give much thickness either. The hairs cannot be surgically implanted close enough to mimic original thickness by a longshot.
I can say that a man could proboably replenish depleted donor areas with body hair and buff them back up (Ive seen men with excessive transplantation and the backs of their heads have very thin hair that tell ANYONE that "somethin's been done to him"). But again, the new body hair will proboably be "messy" and not lay "right". Chest hair often gets grey too, and dont forget about the zillion scars that will be ALL OVER YOUR BODY. I guess you could get a body-colored tatoo, but do you really want that?
By the way,,,,,,my own cloning idea went like this: Implant stem cells in your thighs (where the skin is almost always covered). WHen they grow in all directions, the doctor can extract them surgically and re-implant them in your head ensuring proper direction. This is the best way to "get cloning to market" in my opinion. The tissue-scaffold idea will just scar the hell out of a man, and if they dont grow........he'd have a mess in my opinion. While the new head hair (from head hair stem cells) is growing on your thigh, you could just buzz it every day for about a year until its ready to transplant or until it goes through one resting stage and regrows, proving its viability). Ive never had a Doctor comment on my little idea, but would be anxious to hear one.
