Could Obama serve another term if he has his head grafted to Biden’s body?

The Soviets did doghead transplant experiments over half a century ago. The dogs lived several weeks and eventually learned to accept both heads. They died from infection.

Before long they will be making clones just for this purpose. Star Trek "Enterprise" did it! Rest in Space, Sim!

This development confirms what I once said a long time ago as a small kitty upon learning of Frank Sinatra receiving a hair transplant, and I quote: “Someday it will become possible to transplant the rest of the head of a bald man!”

Thanks mandaladon.
Head transplants have been attempted since the 1950s, when Russian scientist Vladimir Demikhov experimented with dogs. Twenty years later, American neurosurgeon Robert White conducted a successful head transplant by moving the head of one monkey to the body of another. The monkey lived for several days, but because White could not connect the two spinal cords, the monkey eventually died.

In a botched job, does the head reject the body or does the body reject the head?
