Well, they may be able to physiologically tie everything together...and may even make a good part of it work.

But I honestly believe that the emotional and mental issues will render the patient insane.

With my Sacral Chordoma tumor and complete sacrectomy, the several surgical teams (Neuro Surgeons, Bone Specialists & surgeons, anisthesiologists, pain sepcialists, blood specialists, plastic surgeons,etc.) performed three major surgeries on me that cost upwards of 2 million dollars. They literallty took me apart and put me back together again.

I was in the hospital for almost four months, and then went through several months of very intensive rehab afterwards.

Overcoming all of that and learning to walk and be able to function again was very, very difficult...physically, emoytionally, and mentally. There was a lot of very significant emotional and mental attidue difficulties and adjustments in addition to the shear physcial issues associated woith it.

It's been almost four years since I was diagnosed and three and one half years since the surgery.

I do not believe a person waking up in a different body and having to learn to use all of those body parts (those that they can make work) will be able to overcome it. But that's just my own opinipon.
