Reply to comment by GolfandPoker in We have seen successful transplants of various organs, hands, even faces -- so why not transplants of legs or feet to lower-limb amputees? Why are these not a thing? by Pandeism

An identical twins organs should not be rejected but then then twin would be without their organs. With a leg the nerves and blood vessels won't have grown the same way so it would still be an incredibly complex procedure.

There is still a lot of research to be done with stem cell organs. Not sure why the other guy said it was prohibited. It's one of those things that is always a few years away so who knows.
