Finding a suitable donor, high change of rejection, etc., are the main reasons.
Then there's the price of it and the issues of finding surgeons who would be able to.
Right now, the option is pretty much a (huge) cosmetic surgery, so you can get it done "easily". Doing a full transplant would mean a much more complicated operation.
- bayesian_horse 9y agoAs long as it is an experimental surgery, it may be quite simple to find a donor, considering no competition. I don't know if the donor or his family has to consent specifically to donating an organ which is normally not donated and where the procedure has a much lower chance of succeeding.
