Outside of horror and sci-fi flicks, head transplants aren't really viable. What attempts have been made so far usually kill the unfortunate test subjects within a day, and they can't really survive without life support. Researchers at China's Harbin Medical University think they can do better, however. In the wake of hundreds of mouse operations, the scientists are planning to conduct the first primate head transplants where the patient survives on its own for at least a while. The surgery will connect only a fraction of the spinal nerve fibers in the long-tailed macaque monkeys going under the knife, but it should be enough to maintain voluntary muscle movement and other crucial functions.

Welp, somebody's got to do it. Although this guy is my favorite:

One neurosurgeon, Sergio Canavero, is even vowing to try a human head transplant within two years.

The implications are infinite. 😱

Wrong forum damnit.

The meaning of the thread title really depends on how you read it.

[Infernal Monkey]

It was okay.

 

[TheSpaceBetween]

Really, thank you OP, it had been a while since I've had such hysterical laughter.

 

[IcyBlueStrawberry]

Of course not. Have you ever met a monkey who wasn't selfish? Once you've finished with them they suddenly decide they've got a headache.

 

[tcrunch]

This seems entirely ethical in all aspects. Proceed.

 

[Cloud Strife]

[T0KY0ST0MP]

Isn't that how aids started?

 

[Jazz573]

[Sylverstone14]

This is the best title I've read on off-topic GAF yet.

EDIT: Wait, this isn't off-topic GAF. WTF.

[Timeaisis]

OH MY GOD

 

[Galang]

Yeah I had to read the thread title a few times before even entering.

 

[GamerJM]

This is the only time I've ever actually laughed at this meme.

 

[TheSpaceBetween]

I'm dying here. Should have been first post.

[NightShift]

Oh wait.

 

[injurai]

The meaning of the thread title really depends on how you read it.
