Russian volunteer to have world's 1st head transplant

submitted by newtboy

9 years 1 month 3 weeks ago

The first ever human head transplant expected to be carried out in China in 2017. It will take 36 hours and will cost $11mln. The patient is a Russian computer scientist suffering from rare genetic disease. His head will then be attached to the donor's body with a biological glue.

Really?!? They're just going to glue the head on the body?!?l

whoa... wait a minute... the immuno suppression is to prevent the body from rejecting? Sounds more like it's to keep the head from rejecting.

So, murder then.

There are no possible circumstances where this could end well.

Where does the donor body come from?!

erm, the chances of getting just the phrenic nerve connected sot hat he can breathe without a machine would be challenging - getting a whole spinal coord to connect when we can't even repair a native spinal cord transection is. I'm sorry but f he thinks he's going on holiday afterwards he's not fully consented for this procedure.

Most 'spare parts' in China come from the political prisons the prisoners are executed for their crimes and harvested for parts.

Why else would this operation happen in China?

Gunther von Hagens does an exhibit of plastinated humans, Body World, where most of the specimins are Chinese political prisoners killed to order (he literally communicates things like, shoot this one in the heart, I need an intact skull).

Where does the donor body come from?!
