Surgeon Sergio Canavero will be embarking on a project to implement the world's first human head transplant.
It's a fascinating concept. You have an otherwise perfectly healthy head on a body that no longer functions. You have, also, an otherwise perfectly healthy donor body. What if you could take the head from its non-functioning body and transplant it onto the healthy body?

What about a brain transplant? Is there hope for Congress?

The EXEMPT made themselves, their families,
their staff, their families, and all Moslems for this.
THE EXEMPT will be the ‘very special’ recipients
of organs, stem cells, and bodies from the
useless non-EXEMPT.

Interesting. So I assume it’s the “head” person who continues to live, using the body of the other. I guess it’s actually a body transplant.

Anyone else feel as though this world has drifted into a parallel universe.
Lemme outta here.

A body with a healthy brain would never get reelected.
The American electorate is too far gone.

What could go wrong with this sarcasm.
Could have a lot of ethical and legal ramifications with this.
Legal defense could say “ he can’t be held accountable for his crime, his body made him do it “ ....

just because you can doesn’t mean you should.

Congress needs a conscience, character and integrity transplant. The entire brain may do it but you have to have one to begin with. A rare commodity in DC.

I would like my upper torso attached to a thoroughbred race horse. I could be the first centaur.

Considering medical science has yet to fix serious spinal cord injuries, I don’t see how this is a good idea to attach a head to a useless body...that can’t move...
Sounds like someone is looking for grant money...

You have, also, an otherwise perfectly healthy donor body i.e. a motorcyclist.

This is very disturbing. It’s indeed a slippery slope, but once you start sliding one gains speed rather quickly.

Human head transplant just two years away, surgeon claims I almost choked after thinking about this headline. So many possible candidates.
