"All Things Must Pass".

in reply to Science Scholar • •As a matter of fact, I just had a back-n-forth about aging with an e-friend interested in maintaining muscle tone, which is fine but there's age-related joint deterioration, of which I know firsthand. Nobody's doing joint transplants. Sure, mechanical replacements for knees and hips, but nobody's doing shoulders, elbows or fingers. If, as the pet theory goes, you could replace your organs forever thereby living forever, your ass is gonna be in a sling because you'll be immobile.

With any luck, his body will reject any transplanted organs that would extend his life. Also, he already had a bout with cancer. I’m not sure he’d be a candidate for organ transplants.
