If a person keeps transplanting new / younger organs (Let say every 10 years you replace one part). I understand there’s compatibility issues but barring that is that technically not possible? Or does our brain literally just shuts down after time as-well?
In: Biology
You know how old people often die of things which they could easily have survived 10 or 20 years prior? Heavy surgery takes a took on the body, you’d kill more people by performing the transplantation than you’ll ever “save.”
Also, it’s like hiding from the rain under a tree. You think that after a while when the tree gets saturated with water and stops shielding you, you can switch to another, but all the other ones have been equally saturating for equally long. Likewise, the organ which kills people might be the first to fail terminally, but often there are others just as close to collapse after it.
