150 doctors and 36 hours... that's either some extremely short shifts or a very crowded room.

Yeah, the hormonal changes are probably going to be the biggest factor if they can successfully bridge the spinal column. As I said, Robert White's experiment with the rhesus monkeys might make the need for immunosuppressants debateable. The brain itself will be unaffected, but it's a question whether the surrounding organs will not be rejected.

Wasn't this a xfiles movie that basically one upped Buffalo Bill w/ a transgender who wanted their head transplanted onto a female body's? Looking forward to this break though in having faces literally melt off living skulls as the immune system goes nuts attacking the head. That volunteer dude has got to be better off as a little wheelchair fellah with crippled but functional appendages rather than a quadrapalegic dude going insane from the foreign endocrine system loving up his brain as the foreign immune system starts eating his head from the neck up.

I hope this works so we can force all the racists to get body transplants in order to end racism.

Sounds as though this guy is fed up with his life so figures he might as well donate himself to medical science because it can't get much worse.

I'd be down to have a woman's body for a weekend or whatever. Not permanently of course but it'd be fun. Being bi probably helps.

Bone marrow compatibility will not be a problem. I am sure they will find an unfortunate gulag prisoner who had an accident and is now brain dead. Oh hey, look this guys medical record says he would be compatible... oh hang on here goes my phone. "Hello?....." That is most peculiar. He just had a terrible accident.
