The lengths of the transected spinal cord stumps will be adjusted so they’re even, and the myelinated axons, the spaghetti-like parts of nerve cells, will be fused using a special type of glue made of polyethylene glycol, an inorganic polymer that Canavero says is the procedure’s true magical elixir. In this way, spinal cord function will be established by enabling the cytoplasm of adjacent cells to mix together.

They also have to worry about the new body's immune system rejecting his head.
It's basically throwing a Hail Mary.

no chance this works
The monkey was not happy.

Honestly I'm excited about this procedure whether it's an abysmal failure or not because unfortunately many of the most important medical breakthroughs only ever occurred because doctors were willing and/or permitted by their governments to do really unethical and grisly things.

That is an issue with any organ transplant, any person that has had one must be on immunosuppressive medication for life.

Yeah, that's not happening.

I want to see this happen just because I'm really into Frankenstein-type experiments.

No way in hell does this actually happen, not even in Russia. Much less it even be successful.
I would have to be terminal and only have a week to live to even consider this. Even then I would still prefer to spend my next to last day with family and loved ones. Then on my last day execute, pardon the pun, my and then my buddy's "people to kill list" and then intentionally OD after getting high AF the rest of the day.
But that's just me.

Shouldn't it be a body transplant?

Does Dr. Mozzarella not realize that the brain needs oxygen to survive?

The body will be paralyzed right?
Posted on 7/3/16 at 7:09 am to VOLcano
Even if this works, how in the world would living as a quadriplegic be better than what he's got going on now?
Posted on 7/3/16 at 7:21 am to blueboy
I think it's been done. I saw something about this in the Weekly World News while in the grocery store checkout line.

Basically what this is saying is that permanent paralysis is a thing of the past now. If they can basically alchemize cells at the cytoplasmic level then they can repair a severed nerve. This would have to be the case to give this operation any hope of success. Amazing if it succeeds but usually the first few attempts at something this revolutionary with regards to medicine have a negative outcome.

This fricker has been watching too much Game of Thrones. He will probably change his name to Robert Strong if it works.
The should get it on with it they can get a head start.

Or it was losing its shite but you couldn't tell because it was paralyzed.
