      That’s really cool

      They’ll end up, after a lot of drama, with the same formula they use every time they have a trifecta: take away health care and food assistance from low income families and use the money to fund tax cuts for their donors.

        I thought so. I know quite a few people who would benefit.

          The slow march of medical advancements is incredible. My FIL would've benefited from this (as many would), he had a kidney transplant at Mayo about 2 years ago, and of course he's happy it worked but the lifestyle adjustments he's had to make because of immunosuppressives is a minor PITA.

            Interesting. Got me to lookup whether organ transplants between identical twins require immunosuppressants, and the answer is negative.
