Head transplant ops ‘will work’... but the side effects could be the worst form of insanity ever experienced by a human

It will be interesting to see how it unfolds anyway.

As the article stated, I believe the body will reject the new head causing him to die.

But hell, im not the doctor here. But this is definitely insane.

The potentially ground-breaking treatment was performed on a monkey in 1970.

The animal only lived for eight days after the body rejected the new head, leaving the monkey unable to breath and move.


Ummm......

How many penises you thinking about adding to your body, baw?

I don't think masturbating would be as good with some strange new peen you are whacking off.

Reading this just confirms a lot of Vonnegut writing.

So let me paraphrase: you can get a new body but in the process you may... Lose your head?

It seems like there's a zillion nerve endings that will not attach to one another.

The real question is: is this a head transplant or body transplant??

Looks like he has nothing to lose by trying. This might eventually be a viable surgery, and the first attempt will help it become a reality.

If they can prevent rejection he's no worse off.

Imagine some poor black guy who needs a transplant, yet all that's available is a white body. After recovery, the doctor tells him the operation was a success, but later when alone he pulls back the sheets. "Noooooooooooooo!"
