who needs a head transplant
on September 11, 2015 at 6:27 pm
I’m not really understanding, what type of disease would require a head transplant? I understand his head is being placed with another person’s body. What type of symptoms/issues does he have that could be helped by a head transplant? Thanks for any info..
Assuming this becomes a success, and is soon normal medical practice, where are the ‘donor bodies’ going to come from?! As a body cannot survive for long without life, won’t they have to have a ‘standby’ living victim who is surgically beheaded before his body is attached to the paying customer’s head? I don’t know if they can depend on accident victims for this, because you cannot foretell when an accident is going to happen, and not all victims are mortally wounded so as to be vegetables. But I do know that the medical community can enter into partnership with the Saudi Arabian government, and offer “more humane” beheadings to condemned prisoners for the price of the rest of their bodies. This exercise has ‘wrong’ written all over it.
The process being survivable is possible. The real issue will come to their ability to reconstruct the millions of nerves and spinal cord which will allow the patient to be able to breathe on the their alone or even possibly move. As they are not currently able to do this for spinal injury patients I have significant doubts this surgery will do anything more than create a completely paralyzed person living off of a ventilator.
