KANSAS CITY (AP)-Scientists here have made significant pro- gress toward the goal of some day giving you new glands, skill, a kid- ney or a heart to replace your own old, sick and missing organs.

They have partially repealed a law of nature which stands in the way.

They succeeded in making skin grafts "take" and live in mice of a different strain. The secret was to give mice an injection of ground-up skin before the skin graft was made.

This feat could provide it key to future transplanting of skin and other organs between humans to save and extend lives.

TISSUE DESTROYED

Nature's law right now prevents transplanting skin or kidneys or other organs from one person to another. For some reason, your body will set up a reaction to de- stroy the borrowed tisssue.

You can transplant skin from one part of your own body to an- other successfully. And skin from an identical twin will survive on his twin's body. But skin from any other person, lives only temporar- ily, then it dies.

The same thing happens ultima- tely to a kidney taken from an-
