Don't know if this is the right section to post this. How come this is not a common thing nowadays? I mean, we can replace hearts, reattach body parts, theres guy trying to transplant a f*****g head, but scalp transplant is impossible?

Apparently one man has already had this procedure done after his scalp was badly damaged from radiation treatments for cancer. I am curious, though even if your body accepted the donor scalp, wouldn't the follicles eventually be affected by your DHT and fall out since you would still have the same genetics even after the scalp transplant?
