Farmer Has Double Arm Transplant

08/07/08 - Amazing

German doctors have carried out a complete double arm transplant. The patient was a 54-year-old farmer who lost his limbs in an accident six years ago. The donor is believed to be a teenager who had died shortly before the surgery. Neither man’s name has been released by the Munich clinic. The 15-hour operation took place last week, and the patient is recovering well, though it could be two years before he can move his new hands.” w/ video
