Jim: Xenotransplant, autotransplant or donor cells?

Xenotransplant, autotransplant or donated human cells?

Hi Jim:

I read your earlier messages about being on that committee.  Congratulations and Good Work!  Your personal story (your diary) makes fascinating reading.

Which do you believe will be first to become a practical procedure that some of us mat participate in?:

-  Xenotransplant = cells from another species, probably porcine cells;  or

-  Autotransplant = collection, processing and implanting of one's own cells;  or

-  Donated human cells = the collecting, processing and implantation of cells of a third party (parties);  or

-  Other cell implant protocol?
