...just humor me now. Stick with me a second. I want to perform what eggheads call a "thought experiment." Let's suppose that Mike McCurry's statement is not, technically speaking, accurate.

In Louisville last week a team of doctors announced their intention to perform "the world's first successful hand transplant"--using a limb from a fresh cadaver--before lifting a scalpel or even picking a patient...
