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
On top of people pointing out you can’t replace the brain, there are far more problems to this. The entire body is subject to wear and tear, not just the organs contained in your torso. Your joints, skin, circulatory system, *everything*. Replacing these isn’t possible. Also, having even a single transplant means taking immunosuppressive drugs for the rest of your life to prevent/delay rejection or graft vs host disease. The level of suppression you’d need to deal with an almost entirely transplanted body would make you liable to die from a common cold.
