It would only be ethically feasible if we could “print” an entire lower body by “scratch” using a 3-D bio printer....

I would think organ rejection would be a very bad thing too...

The one good thing politicians always do is die. Can you imagine Ted Kennedy living forever? It would always be a liberal who wants to live forever at the expense of others. A true conservative would never hold his own life over the lives of others, so they would all die. (To live on at such a high expense would undo the philosophy they served.)

Imagine the future Hitlers, Kim Jung Ils and Pol Pots living forever. Oh, joy.

Why polymer glue? Why not Super Glue? Or better yet, Velcro, that way you have several heads, like one for every day of the week. Anyone who is looking to get ahead today will want several.

This is creeping me out (gee I’m glad the monkey lived 8 days, that was sure a success!).

But I must ask, is it a “head” transplant or a “body” transplant, really?

There are a lot of head-trauma accidents which leave the victim brain-dead, but the body relatively healthy. If it is ethical to use the victim’s organs, why is it unethical to use the whole body?

This would only be useful for Democrats if they were provide with head donors, so their’s could be thrown away.

Day by day C.S. Lewis’ “That Hideous Strenght” drifts closer to becoming reality.

Cool, now a hot chick can get fat, get a new body and be hot again. And then get fat and then get hot again.

Yeah, “That Hideous Strength” is pretty spot on when you look around at things nowadays.

If it ever happens, I can see the first applications being for rich transsexuals.
