London, Oct 9 A man who got a new lease of life after getting his lost limbs from a tragic teenager has claimed that the miraculous transplant has left him feeling like a youngster too. Dairy farmer Karl Merk, 54, has become the world's first double arm transplant patient, after he lost both his arms while working on a corn threshing machine six years ago. Karl's donor was a young teenager who died in a car accident just hours before his transplant operation. "The feeling of being a whole man again is indescribable. Every day I gain more mobility in my arms and hands. What I'm looking forward to most now is to dress myself - and to ride my motorcycle again," The Sun quoted Karl, as saying. The German farmer underwent surgery at the Technical University in Munich, which used a 40-strong medical team. In a statement, doctors said that they did not see any sign that Karl's immune system was rejecting the foreign tissue and that his scars were healing well. Now, Karl can open a door and turn lights on and off. (ANI)
