Gpa Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 MAJOR QUACK He'll use a "magic ingredient" as a sealant to fuse the spinal cord back together and offers a few options for what that ingredient could be. The nerves, having been color-coded when separated, will be carefully aligned and this will all be done very quickly because time is key. http://www.cnn.com/2015/04/03/health/italian-neurosurgeon-says-human-head-transplant-will-happen-in-two-years/index.htmlThis guy is so full of crap. He wants to do this in the US?? If not here then China?? Yea, China would be the right place for this. I seriously doubt it would be allowed here, just for ethical reasons, let alone the medical impossibility of success, at this time. There is no way he could hope to reconnect the spinal cord. As mentioned in this story, if this guy could do as he claims, why not use it for paralyzed patients instead of trying to remove and reattach some poor guy's frigging head??

PaulaJedi Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 The patient has some illness and he is completely volunteering. I think it's kind of sick. I'm doubting the man will survive. How do they connect ALL the nerves? How can they guarantee that every organ will be controlled as it should? It's stuff right out of a horror movie. I'm thinking of Frankenstein.

Hey, if someone will volunteer for Armin Meiwes, someone will volunteer for anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
