"Oh, they're going to cut his head off and he'll die!" It's been done before, idiots. It's not a new idea, it's just never been done on a person. The head survived. I mean the body was paralyzed from the neck down because the spine got severed, but the head survived and so did the body. Head could still respond. You had a paralyzed monkey trapped the hell that is a working but immobile body. Then it died after nine days. So he's not going to die during the surgery, he's going to suffer for a while after.

Blurry Gray Thing posted:"Oh, they're going to cut his head off and he'll die!" Actually, I believed they euthanized the two rhesus monkeys they used in the experiment, which is a big difference. Robert White said that they found that there's little to no rejection of the head, likely because of the blood-brain barrier. And by respond, they were abnormally aggressive, trying to bite the researchers, although this is less to do with the transplant itself and more to the monkeys reacting to the situation. White's talked about the head transplant in regards to human transplantation and has said that the main issues is spinal reconnection, but if this Italian scientist says they have a way to work out spinal regeneration, then they're good to go. I still don't think the Russian test subject will likely survive.

Monstrous Dooklord posted:Russia has never moved past the cold war in a lot of respects but I'm really glad to see they've finally graduated from dog heads to human ones in this weird hosed up fetish they seem to have for transplanting heads onto things There's a popular Russian sci-fi novel from the 1920s that's about head transplants. There was also a movie:  Russia really loves heads.

spacetoaster posted:"Heavier than air flight is impossible." Well it is, that's where propulsion comes into play. You know what, if this does work imagine all the fat people wanting thin people's bodies. And then getting head transplant after head transplant because they keep destroying them with their massive food intake.

To me, this isn't really freaky at all. There's articles about it that hype up how scary it is, and "the UNKNOWN is going to happen to his mind!", wooo creepy! But to me, this could set a revolution in motion for humanity. If it works, it will be as big as some of the most influential technical breakthroughs in human history.

I'm actually kind of excited for this in a macabre "what will happen?" sort of way. Either the guy dies, or the doctor manages to get in the history books for pulling off a really loving bonkers procedure.

This is loving awesome and if it will lead to me someday being able to have a robot body I am 100% for it. I'm most interested to see the ramifications on his brain. Afaik a lot of your personality is due to your body and hormones it produces, so it'll be interesting to see what's up. Dude is gonna have to be on crazy immuno suppressants his whole life probably.

Will the guy continue life as himself or resume the body's old life? according to google: quote:Death Legal Definition: Irreversible cessation of circulatory and respiratory functions and of all functions of the entire brain, including the brain stem. this means that because the donor bodies brain is dead but the circulatory and respiratory functions are still going he would count as alive and that person. he would also be himself, because his brain functions continue. he would become two legal persons at once
