How important is it, though, that the cells be your own cells? In several decades, we may have even better tools to deal with the transplant rejection that stems from regenerated organs with different genomic material.

He might also simply make stem cells out of aged cells of our own bodies. There are already cases where it’s possible to reverse a cell.
What about something like this? http://nyscf.org/images/pdf/biopsy_flyer_versionweb.pdf?study_id=17&participant_id=51644acd8255dc3ede4fa494b7def28831554d6a . I’m not sure if they’d store the samples at a timescale long enough to be relevant though (aka, 4+ decades).
