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.

I could suggest a few people to be a donor.

I believe the specification is healthy body. Between the nonstandard pharmaceuticals and the previously unheard-of forms of venereal disease, that community seems unlikely to produce a body to spec ...
