WRYYYY
The Daily Mail reports
Hook the head up to a machine that will circulate oxygenated blood to the brain.
I mean, it's not really a head transplant, though. It's a body transplant. The guy isn't getting a new head. He's keeping his head. He's getting a new body.
Who's going to pay the $10m though.Considering his disease, it is easy to see why he wants try an almost impossible surgery. That 0,0000005 percent chance is still better.

That will probably be on the doctor, but I'm thinking that amount can certainly be reduced. On such unique cases, doctors for instance can donate their time so they do their work for free.Who's going to pay the $10m though.
Sure but I'm not sure about that. For starters it's a fairly controversial proposition to begin with so they might have trouble finding willing doctors let alone ones willing to do it for free.That will probably be on the doctor, but I'm thinking that amount can certainly be reduced.

The procedure was supposed to last almost 10hrs last I read it and that's not going to be cheap for the hospital either, again, even if they even find a hospital willing to host it.
I think they'll have more problems with making sure the insurance stuff is in order than finding candidates.Sure but I'm not sure about that.

10 hours is long, but not that long. There have been surgeries lasting up to four days. If the hospital is worried about losing the OR for that time, they can plan it in the weekend when no-non urgent operations happen.The procedure was supposed to last almost 10hrs last I read it and that's not going to be cheap for the hospital either, again, even if they even find a hospital willing to host it.
Hmmm.... would it be possible to transplant a male head on a female body??................................
Good luck to him and the doctor willing to do it tho.
Would it not be easier to just connect the head to various machines which supply it with whatever a head needs to survive? Futurama style heads in jars seem plausible to me.
Basic nutrition ie glucose solution would be simple enough to provide. Protein would probably be the hardest to emulate plus there is a lot of chemical process your body performs in order to keep your brain alive.Well, a donor's body is doing the same exact thing as machines would. I guess it is easier to keep a head alive with a body than it would with machines.
While artificial lungs and a heart would be possible, how would you supply the head with nutrition through the bloodstream? I'm pretty sure that's easier if you have an actual body attached that does that.
Hmm, didn't consider China as an option. That would make sense.they will, probably in china where head transplant experiments are ongoing as we speak.
Insurance and possible negative publicity is why many hospitals would reject these proposals. Same goes with doctors.I think they'll have more problems with making sure the insurance stuff is in order than finding candidates.

But what will happen to all his memories? Plus will he then retain the memories of the other guy?
what manga is this
lol where is this from?
At the same time, it is not the first time almost impossible stuff went through. The first time they transplanted anything has a high chance of going wrong and they managed to avoid those.Insurance and possible negative publicity is why many hospitals would reject these proposals. Same goes with doctors.
I hope that this is successful. Muscle wasting disorders are no laughing matter. Everyone deserves to get ahead in life.
It won't, and even if he somehow manages to connect the millions of neuron fibers in the right order so that his ANS kicks in so he doesn't suffocate, either the guy's immune system rejects the head and he dies to GvH several days later or he has to take so many immunosuppressants that he dies to a common cold virus several days later. It's practically criminally irresponsible.
