The procedure involves getting a close relative of the patient, such as a sibling, to donate several days-worth of stool. Louie tests the stool for diseases such as hepatitis and HIV and then mixes it with saline to create liquid feces.
"I had to collect stool samples for five days prior to our leaving Toronto, and I collected it in an ice cream container and kept it in the fridge," said Sinukoff.
She had to then fly the samples to Calgary so that Louie could transplant it into her sister — a process that involved getting the sample through airport security.
"My biggest fear was that my samples were not allowed to be frozen, so I had to take them as carry-on luggage in the airplane and I was terrified that I was going to be asked to have my luggage searched," she said.
===================
This is so cool.

harald387: ...Thanks. I think.
me: I'm very selective about who gets my poop.
I would even have lots of curry first, so you'd experience the warm glow of our friendship.
harald387: ... I'm fairly certain that this is meant to be a compliment.

They do art. Again, fantasy/sci-fi art, meaning there is cheesecake, but nothing more than PG.
