Do you think that if Stalin, Mao, Hitler, or the late Kim Jong Il could have used this, they would give a rat’s rear end about ‘regulations’?.......

[KarlInOhio]

The other thing is, transferring say Stalin’s head to a new body, which could allow for super bad guys to live a lot longer

well Red you got a point there, I am sure that Kim Young One in North Korea is watching this development with bated breath ready to scoop up the technology to get himself a new body when the old one craps out............

One of the unintentionally funniest movies ever was about a failed head transplant gone wrong. (The host woke up early.)

The problem is where you get the body.
What if the current user isn’t quite finished with it yet?.......

No body is getting my head-get it no body.:)

Kim Young One will probably pick out one with a sixpack, a bout 6 feet tall and simply have him kidnapped....

This has already been done. First by Doctor Victor in the early 19th century. Later by his great-great-great grandon Dr. Wilder in the late 20th century.

They tried it with Pelosi and Biden...

....the problem is that they forgot the brain in both cases.

Anthony Weiner would pick one with........oh, well, never mind.....

[Ransomed]

If it ever becomes truly viable, look for the death penalty to be applied for less serious crimes. Once voters realize they can vote for longer lives at the expense of the convicted and executed, young men and women’s bodies will become valuable resources.

Hopefully synthetic organs or self-cloned organs will come along before human-human transplant technology and technique becomes so perfect that it becomes a temptation to kill humans to extend the life of other humans.

"The problem is where you get the body. What if the current user isn’t quite finished with it yet?......."

The Muslim medical supply house stands ready to provide any quantities necessary.

"The greatest technical hurdle to such endeavor is of course the reconnection of the donor's and recipient's spinal cords. It is my contention that the technology only now exists for such linkage."

They should focus on connecting the spinal cords of paralysis victims, and when they're able to reconnect the head of a quadriplegic to his own body, only then should they start swapping heads.
