RE: With Successes In Mice, Dogs And Monkeys, Head Transplant Has Been Proposed For Humans & Scheduled For December, 2017
What makes a transplant "effective" is open for definition. We can keep a heart beating in a dish with electrodes, so just keeping a head alive with bloodflow is not impressive. But whether it's a "success" or not, I ask why? Is this freak science? Everyone is talking about it like it's a noble thing. Maybe in a pragmatic way, it's cool, but the freakishness of attempting this and being successful nauseates me.
Hi
I appreciate your comment. But one thing you must appreciate is breakthrough in being able to join spinal cord would help spinal cord injury victims. Thats one thing. Another thing is that..
Sometimes people get paralyze from head down while others may suffer from incurable
brain cancer. Under such a situation, instead of losing two persons just like that, both individuals can reach agreement and the procedure carried out on them. In such a situation, the head donor is the one to enjoy everything. He can think and recall events of TV every past. But the one who donated body would just be lost in history.
The world we live in is full of possibilities.
