So, I have a question....

How do they know it’s a “head transplant.”

Why isn’t this considered a “body transplant”?

Does the identity of this person go with the body?

Shouldn’t the identity of the new person go with the head?

Hopefully we can get tot he point where we can use a giant 3-d printer that uses cells to “print” a new body so donor body issues would be eliminated...

If the body has no head, therefore no consciousness, I would call it a head transplant, transplanting the consciousness to a new body.....

It would present a problem with fingerprints, though.......retinal scan would have to be the true identifying media.......
