That's the billion dollar question. Doctors are pretending they can sew each neurons back. This is obviously bullshit. If it was true, they would be making millions in curing crushed spines everywhere, not making bold claims of head transplants. The guy will have a healthy, lifeless body at best.
[edit] This is what a spinal cord looks like when cut.
The residual hormones within the body will likely change his personality/mood permanently.
Key is [...] and have a fresh corpse that
was decapitated cleanly so all the neurons are exposed. Finding the right body will probably take the longest time.
Do I read this correctly? You think they're waiting for a decapitated body?
Since he's keeping his head, shouldn't it be a body transplant?
Uhh, wouldn't this be a body transplant? Not head?
I've said this all along.
That article also says the same operation almost succeeded on a monkey.
Even if there is little chance for this to work, the man who volunteered knows this maybe as good as electing for an euthanasia. Given his illness, he doesn't have much choice. But if his operation could result in findings that can help maybe the next operation succeed, humanity as a whole would significantly benefit from breaking this biological barrier.
I hope that this is successful. Muscle wasting disorders are no laughing matter. Everyone deserves to get ahead in life.
If I were that guy I'd take quadriplegic over dead any day.this was a long time ago and I dont even know if im remembering correctly but I saw a story about a monkey getting a head transplant but it ended up paralyzed from the neck down.
I'm willing to bet that eventually he'll change his mind.
He might volunteer now, but I'm willing to bet that eventually he'll change his mind.
Good luck to him and the doctor willing to do it tho.
I would gladly donate my body once I am deceased.So who's going to volunteer their body?
I fucking love you three so much. This operation is well weird, innit?
People may have performed head transplants on animals before, but not to the scale that this guy is attempting (actually fusing the spinal cords and trying to avoid total paralysis). He should try the spinal transplant on an animal first before testing out his hypothesis on a human.
I'm in a wheelchair due to a degenerative form of muscular dystrophy, and if this gets viable before robot bodies become a thing I am absolutely signing up
That's an old-fashioned view, throughout history there's been so many useless animal experiments made that do not translate well to human biology. We have a volunteer, better to try the real business. I'm sure one could find more volunteers out of fatally ill people like him.
My guess is a brain dead organ donor. Like a headshot victim or something.So who's going to volunteer their body?
Are there any other sources for this? The Daily Mail isn't even close to reliable...
What a shitty way to start a news story
...but at the same time I know this story is now bullshit.
Further to the above, this sounds like that Clive Warren film.

Cut your head off your body, cut the head off a second body, and attach your head to the second body.
Omg! Lol!!
