The surgeon who wants to perform a head transplant by 2017

some vegetable who signed his life away volunteered to do it since hes dead anyways in 2-3 years.

why would he need a lawyer? who would sue him?

>Is this bullshit?
Insane? Definitely.

People don't understand limits or how to stop once they've set upon a certain path. Incapable of constant re-evaluation.

But who would give a body?

I think the psychological effects would not be as bad with a human who is more aware of his condition an did it voluntarily. I'm more interested in whether the body would reject the new head in a freaky way.

They have family, they always do.

I wouldn't call that a success user. All the head did was look around and bite anything it could. It had no control over its new body because the spinal cord couldn't be attached. If it could there would be no paraplegics.

It would be freaky for the significant other of the body, to see something so familiar but strange with the new head and brain. Uncanny valley territory. Also how would muscle memory work attached to a different brain?

I believe the difference with this is that the surgeon will be making precise cuts through the spinal cord, rather than an injury that does much more damage.

I don't necessarily believe it's possible, I'm just saying I think that's the idea behind how it might be possible.

That is better than heads do normally, when they are detached from a body.
