I don't really understand but I hope to hell that this procedure is successful and progresses. > drugs that destroy any white blood cells that might make antibodies that would attack the new kidney. So the drugs only eliminate white blood cells that attack the foreign organ? Or they eliminate all T-Cells so that one has to forever go on massive amounts of immuno boosters? Or live in a plastic bubble like David Vetter (Below.) > the process might be suitable for living-donor transplants of livers and lungs, Maybe it is just an editing issue, but there is no such thing as a living lung donor.
