Can you get a spine transplant?
Not currently - bones are not transplanted these days, since they have artificial replacements instead, which are easier to apply than a "transplant" would be. Plus the spine is home to the "spinal column" - a collection of nerves that if damaged will cause paralysis. It's not possible to transplant a spine without the spinal column, which means that the new spinal column would have to be joined "damage free" into the patient. This would actually be impossible to do with no damage occurring to the nerves whatsoever, which would mean that the patient had a high likely hood of waking up fully paralysed. This is why spinal transplants are not performed.
