It will be so expensive, only the super-rich can afford it................

Well my hypothetical was dealing with someone who is super rich, was it not? Would people accept it? I bet many would.

There have been lots of rumors that Jeffery Epstein and Bill Gates were using the New Mexico ranch of Epstein to seed children, or maybe even clones of themselves, using women who were being paid to be surrogates. Here’s one article I found along those lines just barely even looking again today, so there is probably a lot more out there.

Brings to mind Dr. Francois Alcasan in the C.S. Lewis novel That Hideous Strength.

I thought the exact same thing!

Wonder what Dr. Ben Carson thinks of this...

“Donor bodies would come from young, otherwise healthy people who have experienced brain death; heads from people with diseases like cancer or neurodegenerative conditions, or injuries that have led to paralysis, could then be swapped onto the younger, healthy donor body for a new lease on life.”

Or anyone who refuses to take the mark of the beast.

Revelation 13:16-17 NKJV
He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

Revelation 20:4-6 NKJV
And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those WHO HAD BEEN BEHEADED [emphasis added] for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and HAD NOT RECEIVED HIS MARK [emphasis added] on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.

It would be a bad idea to steal a healthy, young Christian’s body (or parts) since it just might get reclaimed at the rapture.

They're going to want to do some animal research first.

Dr. Vladimir Demikhov created 2 headed dogs in the 50s. The grafted head was basically a zombie. (The films taken are disturbing).

I’m thinking that a head transplant would result in a zombie.

Simply reconnecting nerves is not enough. The missing element is training the neural network to read the sensors and drive the muscles. It takes time to develop that in a normal human. I suspect the result will be a quadriplegic with an old head and a murdered body donor with a discarded head.

Was it realistic when Christiaan Barnard replaced the heart in Louis Washkansky’s chest with one he’d just cut out of Denise Darvall?
