star wars - Could a killed Clone Trooper be used as spare part for a wounded one?


As we see here, in Star-Wars, cybernetics is preferred over cloning to replace a lost limb.


But what if the clone is already there? In the particular case of Clone Troopers is there any mention anywhere in EU that the organs of dead Clone Troopers are kept in a organ bank for future transplantation?



Answer



Two novels in the Star Wars expanded universe offer a lot of insight into clone trooper medical care: MedStar I: Battle Surgeons & MedStar II: Jedi Healer (2004) both written by Michael Reaves and Steve Perry. The books focus on Republic Mobile Surgical Units (RMSU) - (pronounced "rimsoos") on the front lines of the Clone Wars. Think of the RMSU's as Star Wars MASH units.


To answer your question, YES, doctors used organs and body parts of dead troopers to patch up wounded troopers. They also had a supply of freshly cloned organs to use.


And if you want more insight into life as a clone, check out the Republic Commando series of novels written by Karen Traviss:


Republic Commando: Hard Contact
Republic Commando: Triple Zero

Republic Commando: True Colors
Republic Commando: Order 66
Imperial Commando: 501st


In Republic Commando: True Colors, there's even a part where an injured clone is brain dead, but he's rescued from the hospital because if he's not fit to fight, then his body is just recycled back into stock. So basically, you only medically treat clones so much before they "total" the clone and put his parts to use for other clones who can be saved.

futurama - How much time is lost in 'Time Keeps on Slippin''

In time Keeps on Slippin' , Farnsworth creates a basketball team which he matures by abusing Chronitons. This leads to time skipping forward by random, but ever increasing amounts. How much time was skipped in this way? Answer Unfortunately, I don't think a good estimate can be made for this, for two reasons: Many of the time skips move forward by an indeterminate amount of time. At one point, the Professor mentions localized regions of space skipping forward much more than others. We then see two young boys on the street below complaining about having to pay social security, only to suddenly become senior citizens and start complaining about wanting their money. Thus, each individual could have experienced a different amount of time skippage.

tolkiens legendarium - Difference between elves and dwarves blacksmithing in the Lord of the Rings

Both the elves and the dwarves were famous for their metal work in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but what is the difference between what they made, and which one had the better skill of making amours and swords? Answer James Christopher's answer sums up the second part of your question well, but as to the difference in what they made, a little more detail is needed. Once the Elves learned to forge with steel, the shape of the sword changed, now being able to take on the form of a great broadsword or a light and agile curved sword. Additionally, they took great pride in decorating their swords. As we see in the Lord of the Rings , some swords like Sting had magical properties such as glowing blue when orcs are near. As far as the use of Mithril, lotr.wikia has two contradictory passages: Thus, Elven blades became renowned as great weapons, capable of performing deeds beyond the skill of their handlers and were even more glorious when the use of Mithril was allowed to the Elves. ...

How do Pokemon trainers collect their winnings?

According to Bulbapedia , Prize money is the money that a Trainer pays out at the end of a battle. So we know that the money comes directly from the trainer that just lost, and not some third-party committee or sponsor. But how is this done? It can be easy seeing the random trainers who challenge you along the way wanting to wager and then, after admitting defeat, sticking to their word and handing over their hard-earned pokebucks. Then there are the likes of Team Rocket and Giovanni, who also give money once they lose. This doesn't seem like something people in a criminal organization would willingly do. From this it appears that trainers have no say in whether or not they cough up the dough after losing, but I can't find anything on how exactly the funds are transferred from loser to winner. So how do Pokemon trainers receive their winnings?
