I thought that this would be a good topic.
Head transplant. A step to the future or the best advertisement for Metal Gear Solid V ?
What do you people think?
To have an idea about the subject. This is what dr. Sergio Canavero said about the topic. Dr. Sergio Canavero is the person who claimed that this is possible.
Ok, the first post wasn't really created as a news item, so there's that, but you don't think that the world's first attempted fucking head transplant isn't worthy news? Certainly a lot, a lot more worthy than a lot of the topics in World News right now..
This is fucking crazy anyway, even the idea of it. Sure, the patient will most likely die, but what if we learn something, anything, new from this..
That reminds me of a short story by a Polish sci-fi author Stanislaw Lem... I don't remember the exact details, but:
It was a couple hundred years into the future where medicine was advanced to a point where you could transplant heads. There were two male twins. They both had wives and children. Unfortunately, they were driving in the same car during the accident. Fortunately, by using combinations of different organs from the two bodies, and by transplanting the head, they managed to save one man. Shortly after the accident the insurance company phoned to ensure a few details...
Is the person saved by the accident twin A, twin B, or a whole other person C, and who should get the insurance money.
@mtj Acording to Dr. Canavero it will offer an imense possibiliy in the future if cloning is going to be developed more.
Concerning the presnet it is believed that we could save those who are not being able to walk or use theier limbs or we could offer new lives to those who lost limbs in wars, by placing theier heads on the body of someone who is brain dead ( literally)
