FoxLA.com: The surgeons began the complex work of attaching tendons, blood vessels and nerves to complete the surgery, which concluded at 2:30 p.m. Saturday. After the surgery, the patient was brought back to her room, where she was met by grateful members of her family. She remains at the medical center and will begin extensive physical rehabilitation and a regimen of immunosuppressant medication to help prevent her body from rejecting the new appendage. "I am ecstatic with the results -- a little tired, but ecstatic," said lead surgeon Dr. Kodi (Khodadad) Azari, surgical director of the UCLA Hand Transplant Program and associate professor of orthopaedic surgery and plastic surgery at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, at the conclusion of the marathon surgery. "Everything went well," Azari said. "The size, color and hair pattern match between the donor and recipient is nearly identical. We are so proud to have been able to give our patient the gift of a new hand." >>>

Immortality?? Ya, sure! The "Visionaries" Phoarahs also had the most advanced technology ever to live eternal! That is why they turned themselves to mummies!
Immortality
by Jahanshah Javid on Tue Mar 08, 2011 03:34 PM PSTVisionaries like Dr. Azari are paving the way towards immortality. In a few decades every organ in your body will be replaceable. It will become harder and harder to die!

by Delavar1 on Tue Mar 08, 2011 04:49 PM PSTYou forgot to mention all those hands being cut off ; All those bodies beheaded and stoned to death in Iran by the government. Men, women and children raped by the Islamist terrorist regime occupying Iran; and Fox News never said a word regarding those, Neither any other Western Media descibed athrocities of the rapist Islamist republic of Iran. They never care about the Iranian nation. Infact they are still interested in compromising with the republic of Islam in Iran.
The Foxy Excitement!
