Q&A with the First Human Set to Get a Head Transplant

With that 60-word email, Spiridonov, a Russian computer programmer and graphic artist, put himself on a path to become patient zero for the world’s first head transplant experiment, scheduled to take place in 2017 (though many in the medical profession are very skeptical that it will ever happen). Spiridonov has Werdnig-Hoffman disorder, an incurable muscle atrophy disease. Most people with his condition don’t make it past their 20th birthday; he knows he’s living on borrowed time. A full head transplant is, he believes, his only chance for long-term survival.

I just want to see how crazy he goes

He won't make it past the day of the head transplant.

I thought this already happened.
Either way, this has been the 3rd thread on it that I have read on here.

Yeah I don't see this working

It's really a body transplant

Hopeful the docs put their heads together to ensure a successful operation..
No telling where his life is headed afterwards

He's just donating his body to science via assisted suicide, no chance this works

So, he will no longer exist and the new head, along with the brain, will be what this person will think he is.

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?
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.

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.
