Dude fuck that..
Don't pin this on science. This is two disgusting individuals. This would never fly in the US.

If the human centipede ever becomes reality, this is the doctor that will do it.
This is the precursor to the idea of a full head/body transplant.
These sort of tests could lead to a breakthrough in which a head could be transplanted into a donated body.
Could be great for quadriplegic people.

I hope he goes for 3 with a tiny little rat on top.

Would be even better with a cat in the mix.
If the wings weren't visible this would totally be real.
If this did work, they'd be targeting spinal cord repair since there's so much money to be made. It seems like they're full of shit. No evidence this will work.

Maybe I'm wrong, and I can't read the article atm, but I've seen videos of two-headed dogs achieved through macabre experiments before, with the attached head briefly drinking water. In which particular ways is this more substantial?
this is disgusting...
What is the possible application of this? Is this the guy that wants to do head transplants one day?
What is the point of being able to do head transplants if we can't grow clone bodies?
Are we going to start having poor people sell their bodies to rich people to give their families money?

Well, good luck to that russian fellow who opted in for a head transplant. I sure as hell wouldn't trust in that.
With every safeguard to reduce any uneccesary pain and suffering. Vets check on them regularly and it must be justified. It's to save human lives, not to just see what happens. What's more horrific is people putting poisons that cause slow painful deaths of rodents in their backyards and homes. Or the sticky pads that capture rodents resulting in them starving to death and often gnawing of their own limbs to attempt to break free.

Basis for future human head or brain transplant? Si-miez twins (sorry don't know how to spell it) with 2 heads sharing a body is a thing although that's a natural birth/thing.
I need to reread the article.

Thank you !
Well, thanks, but it doesn't look like it, looks a lot more like JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.

well yeah, but you can sell a kidney and live if you sell your whole body you will obviously be dead.
The possible application is saving someones life who has severe bodily trauma.
The point is someone may be willing to donate their entire body postmortem which could then be used to attach the previous person's head.
Are we going to have poor people sell their bodies? No. That's just ridiculous, I don't know where you go that from.

I don't understand. What's connected beyond skin? Spinal cord? Gi track, vascular system?
It's a tough question. Lots of research is done on animals. No animal research, basically almost no progress in medicine.
There are far more disturbing studies. Studies on pain, traumatic nervous system injury, etc.
It's basically human vs animal suffering. That includes things like eating meat.

But what about people that die in accidents? So wouldn't donate your entire body to help someone who needs it to live?
Footage from the operation room.
If you die in an accident there is no way your body will be in good enough shape to be donated except in very rare cases where somehow only your head suffered trauma

Being braindead but having fully functioning body is not that uncommon.
Lots of organs donated come from such cases.

That's monstrous.

gunshot wound to the head? what about countless brain trauma that can lead to death? (ever hear of people that are in a vegetative state?) I think there are plenty of times this could come up, not just "i'm poor so i'll sell my body for cash" you stated.
I guess. There would still be a very sizable amount of people unwilling to donate their bodies. Probably less than half of those willing to donate organs. A lot of people see their bodies as their self.

Not the head I was expecting yet I clicked anyway.
