Poor guy, without a doubt he is going to die. I mean come on, we can barely get by with single organ transplants, and even then you have to take a huge swath of drugs, anti-rejection drugs, then drugs to curb the side effect of those drugs, then other drugs for complications, it just constant drugs drugs drugs drugs for life and that is just for ONE organ, like a kidney or heart, but an entire head on a completely foreign body? No freakin way. You might as well try to attach a human head to a pig body, it’s ridiculous.

At least a lot of good progress has been made with forcing cells to become stem cells and tying that in to growing them and 3D-printing.

Really, we may be able to grow our own body-compatible organs with our own DNA.

One would think so, right?

To me, the problem of connecting a body to a head, even if you could get the rejection part down pat, what in the heck are you going to do about the nervous system? Particularly with respect to the spinal cord.

If that were possible, we wouldn’t have so many spinal cord injuries resulting in paralysis as we do.

If you can’t solve that problem, then you are better served in trying to figure out how to sustain the head in a jar.

"....You might as well try to attach a human head to a pig body, it’s ridiculous....."

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