It's finally happening. A controversial human head transplant operation now has a date and a team of neurosurgeons willing to undergo the procedure.
Italian neurosurgeon Dr Sergio Canavero has, according to CEN, announced that he will be carrying out the procedure at Harbin Medical University in China along with a team of both Chinese and Italian surgeons. valery spiridonov
Valery Spiridonov has agreed to undergo the procedure.
Dr Canavero has been talking about the controversial procedure for years but it was only this year that he was able to find a willing volunteer that would be happy to undergo the operation.
Russian computer scientist Valery Spiridonov is that volunteer. Suffering from a muscle-wasting condition called Werdnig-Hoffmann disease, Spiridonov hopes that the procedure will give him a second chance.
The $15m surgery would see Spiridinovs head removed from his body and attached to a healthy body from a brain dead donor.
On Friday the pair appeared at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Neurological and Orthopaedic Surgeons in Maryland.
Dr Canavero, who was filmed kneeling at Spiridinovs feet telling him: We can do it, said: The chances of this working are 90 per cent, of course there is a marginal risk. I cannot deny that.

Referring to Spiridinov, he said: He is a brave man and he is in horrible condition. You have to understand - for him, Western medicine has nothing to offer. Western medicine has failed.
Spiridinov, who is confined to a wheelchair, admitted he is nervous but said: If it goes good, I think I will get rid of the limits which I have today.
Of his critics, Dr Canavero said: I prepare myself, scientifically but also psychologically

[ a healthy body from a brain dead donor
Dang. If successful, this guy will be a Dem. ]
You are wrong....
He will be a democrat either way...
Especially if he dies on the OR table...
Hillary’s body is one in which is impossible to transplant a new head.It is inconceivable for any brain with IQ levels above 50 to be tolerated by a Hillary body hosting any new brain.
[ The $15m surgery would see Spiridinovs head removed from his body and attached to a healthy body from a brain dead donor.
Plenty of available donors from the Republican leadership. ]
It is impossible to use a body from a member of Republican leadership, How can you attach a head to a body that lacks a SPINE?
“When they put him under, they should switch the male donor with a female donor :)”
possibly becoming the first really transgendered person, or the first transgendered “couple.”
Damn, you’re right. They’re not qualified donors, there’s more to it than just being brain-dead.
A male mind and a REAL female body. What could wrong, lol?
I’m wondering when they’re going to develop a procedure to extract liberals’ heads out of their asses.
Oh good! Can I get one? My old one don’t work as well as it once did—LOL!
It’s a shame they can’t do it this year. Obama is in desperate need of a head with a functional brain. After 2017, it won’t matter if he gets the transplant.
You think Caitlyn is next?
What could go wong?
O that is nothing check this one out LOL
The Thing With Two Heads
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWHNA_j7h5A
with Rosie Greer LOL
LMAO....that is the best post of the day!!!!
This is the future. Soon we’ll be digitally uploaded. Heck, my Amazon echos are amazing cheap technology that I didn’t dream of even more than 5 years ago.
Bred bodies with head transplants will eventually be a standard thing. One bred from your stem cells.
Oh, and anyway, The Man With Two Heads was one of the unintentionally funniest movies of all time.
The movie had exactly two special effects. When they needed a shot like this, Ray Milland stood behind Rosie Greer and they wore a single coat. And when they needed a far away body shot like running down the street, Rosie Greer wore a rubber Ray Milland head on his shoulder.
RE “I wonder whose head they are going to put on shillary’s body”? James Carville’s of course (aka Red Skull).
Then she would be known as Hillary Cankles Carville Clinton.
Love it! An all-time fave of mine!
Thanks for the video!
