According to maverick surgeon Sergio Canavero, a head transplant has been carried out on a money with success. He says the plan to perform a human head transplant is on track. He claimed that the surgical protocol would be ready within two years and said he intended to offer the surgery as a treatment for complete paralysis.
The head transplant on a monkey was led by Xiaoping Ren at Harbin Medical University, China, according to Canavero. The experiment demonstrated that if the head is cooled to -15 degrees C, a monkey can survive the procedure without suffering brain injury.
Canavero said the money fully survived the procedure without any neurological injury of whatever kind. He also added that the monkey was kept alive for only 20 hours after the procedure for ethical reasons.
We as a show hate any research and experimentation done on innocent animals. We’ll try to take the comedy route on this one. It definitely puts us on a path of crazy possibilities, when you consider, humans are the next ones to swap heads and bodies.
