Basically like a hybrid of the other person at the DNA level. Quite fascinating how each person has unique DNA yet is interchangeable. The transplant will replace a person's DNA with the donor's. Technically, such individual are called "chimeras", having tissues from two genetically-different individuals. This occasionally happens naturally, when a fraternal twin does not develop and merges with the other fetus. Normally a person is never aware of this, but in one case, a woman almost went to jail, until the mystery was cleared up. https://embryo.asu.edu/pages/case-lydia-fairchild-and-her-chimerism-2002 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had learned about the bone marrow transplant but not of the merge in the womb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the MAJOR DYSFUNCTION of the theory of Evolution when it comes to genetics! We were created in the IMAGE OF GOD! This is the real problem creationists have with scripture. Jesus tells us that God is a spirit and that spirits have no bodies. So the "image" is not in God having a nose, or knees, but in our minds and souls. This is the point of the creation of Adam in Genesis. We are hybrids because we have genes from Neanderthals, Denisovans, and one other yet to be identified subspecies of human. That's not debatable. So are anatomically modern humans, Neandertals, or some other subspecies in the image of God? Yes, they all are, assuming that Adam and Eve were the ancestors of all humans. Would it matter if they were H. erectus? I don't see how. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming that it didn't mess up something else in the body. One of the issues is that everything is connected to everything else and it's hard to predict what the consequences of altering specific DNA or adding new DNA might be Even from generation to generation. What might not have ill effects on the first person changed, what about his/her children and grand children. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even crossing species. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
