Pretty amazing and could potentially offer hope to those on the transplant list in the future as the technology is refined and streamlined.

C'mon Pondrew, if you are going to write in a Scottish way, it is heid not heed. Heed is something that you don't take any of, so you won't change the way you spell it, I know. :D
