Cugalabanza Posted May 2, 2016 Posted May 2, 2016 (edited) They wouldn't need to do all that messy spinal cord stuff if they just used Dr. Hfuhruhurr's patented cranial screw top procedure. Edited May 2, 2016 by Cugalabanza
Cugalabanza Posted May 2, 2016 Posted May 2, 2016 Anyway, isn't it misleading to call it a "head transplant?" It's really an "everything except the head" transplant.
dib Posted May 2, 2016 Posted May 2, 2016 Gives a whole new meaning to "getting hea......" never mind.

Get that cat out of here! Anyway, isn't it misleading to call it a "head transplant?" It's really an "everything except the head" transplant. No.
Mr. WEO Posted May 2, 2016 Posted May 2, 2016 "Surgical Neurology International", huh? Any, it's a long way to go for a guy to become a quadriplegic.

Jauronimo Posted May 2, 2016 Posted May 2, 2016 This is pretty scary. Imagine if they ever unthaw Hitler's head...I shudder at the thought.
dib Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 This is pretty scary. Imagine if they ever unthaw Hitler's head...I shudder at the thought. Pretty risky considering all that's left of his head is a piece of skull. Wouldn't unthaw mean refreeze?
MDH Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 I'll put my money on the guy doesn't even get a few minutes of consciousness before he dies. And yeah, it's really a body transplant, no? It's not like the guy who was the body is going to be in control if it works.
Doc Posted May 3, 2016 Author Posted May 3, 2016 I would like to know if they have tried, or are planning to try, this on a non-human animal first?

Saxum Posted May 4, 2016 Posted May 4, 2016 Anyway, isn't it misleading to call it a "head transplant?" It's really an "everything except the head" transplant. Yes it should be called a body transplant - if you get a new heart you do not call it "everything buy the heart transplant".
