A 30-year-old Russian man with a degenerative disease has volunteered for the worlds first human head transplant operation.
Researchers have seriously questioned the feasibility of the operation proposed by Italian surgeon Sergio Canavero.
But Valery Spiridonov, a computer scientist from the Russian town of Vladimir, about 160 kilometers east of Moscow, says he wants to undergo the operation within the next two years.

The dear leader has an abundance of hollow head followers.
Out of the many, there are some top physical specimens.
Simply select color, shape,size,sex...
Our dear leader will send him over for a small fee.

But this has already been done and the result is running for President of the United States....

The Russian scientist, tired of the size of his large head, simply does not understand the old joke (i.e., he just wants a "little head") ... or perhaps he thinks this is a path to a promotion in the marxist system (i.e., he wants to "get a-head".)
OK, OK -- let my beatings begin ....

Simply select color, shape,size,sex... I have to admit, I did not think of it till you mentioned it, but I wonder if the dude can have his head transplanted onto a female's body? Then he would know.....oh, never mind. 😄😀😃🙉🙈🙊

This will only create an economic incentive for ISIS to carry out more beheadings.

Why isn’t it called a body transplant?

Easy peasy. Simply follow Isis around. Plenty of headless bodies, and fresh, mostly Christian.
