In the article Anngwyn sent, this particular transplant went like this:
"...They started with a trachea a portion of the windpipe taken from a
51-year-old man who had recently died. The donor's trachea was rinsed with
antibiotics, and most of the cells were removed with enzymes, a process that
took several weeks. What was left was the shell of the trachea, essentially
made up of fibrous collagen. Using the shell structure, scientists seeded the
outside and inside with the patient's own stem cell cultures."
I used the search function to find an old message I had sent about an organ
transplant constellation. Here's that: "...this is from memory only from a
workshop with Bert in San Rafael in 2000: the client was a man who had donated
an organ (?kidney) to another man. After donating the organ, he became
psychotic and had been in that state for several months. Bert set up reps for
the client (psychotic man), the organ (he picked a woman), and the recipient
(another man). The organ "only had eyes" for the donor (where she came from).
In fact, she went to him and "glommed on", and said, "I can't get close enough.
I want to be inside of you." It turns out that this was the second donor, that
the recipient had rejected the first organ. When the first donor and organ were
also set up, that organ too wished to return to the person it came from, in
fact felt betrayed when given away. When the recipient faced a representative
for death, he calmed. Now, it could be that when the fear of death is resolved,
the man can more easily accept treatment, in this case a donor organ. However,
the organs did not ever accept being removed from their "home" and given away;
maybe what's true is that the organ was rejecting the recipient..."
Interesting topic. How many have given permission to have organs donated in the
event of an accident? Not me... all the best, sheila

Greetings from The Lake of Zürich!Good news from the UK about a breakthrough in
transplant surgery. As many of you know, there are a variety of systemic issues
invoked when a client receives or donated a organ . Now the new organ can be
grown from a patient's own stem cell tissues.All for
now...Anngwyn**************You Rock! One month of free movies delivered by mail
