In Russia, 30-year-old Valery Spiridonov will be flying to the United States to meet the doctor who plans to perform the world’s first head transplant on him. During the operation, Italian surgeon, Dr. Sergio Canavero, intends to completely remove Spiridonov’s head and reattached it to a healthy body.
Spiridonov suffers from a rare form of spinal muscular dystrophy called Werdnig-Hoffman disease.
Now, Spiridonov says Canavero will be announcing the plans soon:
Today, the 31-year-old is wheelchair reliant due to a muscle-wasting disease, announced his neurosurgeon would explain how the plan was progressing in September.
Mr Spiridonov says he is ready to put his trust in controversial surgeon Dr Sergio Canavero who claims he can cut off his head and attach it to a healthy body.
Neither the exact date or location have been chosen yet, but the world first procedure is aimed to take place in December 2017.

Is it possible that a head could reject the hair transplant? Guy just standin’ there and suddenly... ..Bink! ( motions hair flying out of his head)........lands in someone’s frozen yogurt.
LOL. Good one.
I guess the same place they find healthy lungs, hearts and kidneys.
I’d pay to watch this.
This is absolutely insane. Even if he gets the heart and lungs to work by machines to keep the head alive, that’s all that will ever happen. He will be completely paralyzed from the neck down. He might as well have his head attached to a stump.
LOL! Maybe that is how they can fund it, put it on pay-per-view!
$hit!
This experiment has already been tried - and it was a failure...
How do you think we got Joe Biden?
What could be better than a movie about a guy riding a dirt bike? A movie about a guy with TWO HEADS riding a dirt bike! Ohhhhh!
My brain is reeling just by considering this event.
This whole thing is just a big misunderstanding. All the guy said was that he wanted some head.
Exactly!
The soul will be lost if the operation is successful. They will have a zombie on their hands for a little while until it dies. That is what happened to the monkey. Also similar results when the Russian made those two headed dogs.
I have a feeling that IF this does take place they will not be expecting him to walk and move his limbs afterwards. It may be just life support for hishead.
Unless they have had some major breakthroughs in reconnecting spinal column nerves that I am not aware of.
Christopher Reeve was paralyzed because he broke his.
OMG what movie is that from ????
ISIS ?
I’m of the opinion that this is diabolical.
It's not so bad once you get used to it.
Its impossible to keep someone alive with their head detached.
What was this movie called? I remember seeing it as a child and having nightmares after. In the 60’s, the networks would show horror movies on Saturday nights before the test pattern came on. I remember in this movie, they were trying to animate several arms being kept alive on a board. But the thing was, they could only animate the arms to do the last movement that the arms had done in life......like constantly combing the person’s hair. Creeped me out, BIG TIME.
