  Perhaps the title needs to clarify the source of the transplanted tissue as the same patient.

    "Auto-clone"? But as long as the tissue isn't rejected what does the source matter?

It looks similar to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autotransplantation#Hematopoietic_stem_cell_autotransplantation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autotransplantation#Hematopoie... > But as long as the tissue isn't rejected what does the source matter? For a liver it doesn't matter, but with this procedure the children of the man will share their half of the genes.
