why can’t limbs be transplanted to the needy just like heart, eyes etc ?

It’d be hard to find an arm that matches yours aesthetically. I’d rather have a prosthetic than look like the butler from Scary Movie.

Uhh, where the fuck would these limbs come from exactly?
Reddit is getting creepy asf
After Central Banking, I think the internet might be the worst invention that ever happened in human history.
Saw a documentary once about a man with a transplanted hand. Wasn’t without issues. He had to take medicine so that his body doesn’t kill the foreign tissue.
So doable, but not without sigificant problems.

I have no idea about the surgical part of the issue, but the main problem is that neural connections don’t have a standardised format like a USB drive slot. Therefore, limbs don’t immediately move the way the host’s brain wants them to. Even if your surgeon reconnects fasces of nerves correctly, you wouldn’t be able to use them immediately. After years of physiotherapy and a bit of luck, maybe you can regain some of your functional limb usage, but it’s far-fetched that all of this burden could become a standardised procedure for people who lose a limb given the progress of prosthetic limbs which are much better and more readily trained.

Who says you can’t? Here’s a double arm amputee who had two new arms sowed on a couple of years ago: https://instagram.com/felix_gretarsson?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
