What about a brain transplant? Is there hope for Congress?

The EXEMPT made themselves, their families,
their staff, their families, and all Moslems for this.

THE EXEMPT will be the ‘very special’ recipients
of organs, stem cells, and bodies from the
useless non-EXEMPT.

Interesting. So I assume it’s the “head” person who continues to live, using the body of the other. I guess it’s actually a body transplant.

Anyone else feel as though this world has drifted into a parallel universe.

Lemme outta here.

What could go wrong with this sarcasm.
Could have a lot of ethical and legal ramifications with this.
Legal defense could say “ he can’t be held accountable for his crime, his body made him do it “ ....

What is it is a man who wants a woman’s body? Ever think of that?

I would like my upper torso attached to a thoroughbred race horse. I could be the first centaur.

Considering medical science has yet to fix serious spinal cord injuries, I don’t see how this is a good idea to attach a head to a useless body...that can’t move...

Sounds like someone is looking for grant money...

You have, also, an otherwise perfectly healthy donor body i.e. a motorcyclist.

Human head transplant just two years away, surgeon claims

I almost choked after thinking about this headline. So many possible candidates.

I doubt this will work for more than a short term, for the same reason that mechanical hearts are not commonplace. The human system is incredibly complex and interrelated.

In the case of the heart it was discovered that some part of it gave off a tiny amount of a unique hormone. But why should that matter? For a short time, it doesn’t. But after weeks or months bad things start to happen without it. So in effect, they took an engine block and replaced its screws with nails.

And the head is a thousand times more complex.

Sure. Who’s the donor? someone who just died? Danm well better get those nerves connected right and have a shrink ready when the brain finds itself with a body that it doesn’t recognize.
