So if you can't reintegrate a head into its existing body you glue it to a new one? How would that work? You wouldn't have to just dick around with a handful of dead or damaged nerves, but every single one of them. I assume they're more qualified than myself.

Personally I'd rather go for a mechanical body. More fun. Probably less freaky in the long run too.

To connect nerves is the most difficult thing in such an operation. During the operation on monkeys, everything went well. And what will be in doubt on the person. But the monkey is like a human being on the side of the body so there is a chance of success.

I bet you are talking about the animal experiments of the soviets.
The animals all died after the head transplants. There was no surviving specimen.

I just did a little research and there are about 24 nerves between the head and the neck. I am thinking this will be a success but if there are able to make a robot with nerves and connect it to a human head successfully. That will be a huge achievement.

If the nerves are incorrectly connected, then the body will be paralyzed. Experiments with monkeys were successful, but they could not move. Rather, it will also be with a person. Therefore, I think it is too early to do such an operation. You need to learn how to properly connect your nerves.

If the nerves were connected and there was no mobility, then it wasn't a successful surgery. Until its tried again with no problems and everything is fully functional. I think they shouldn't go along with it at all.

Monkeys did not die after a head transplant, they were killed 20 hours after the operation for ethical reasons. In 1970, too, successfully underwent an operation to transplant the head of a monkey, but the body after 9 days rejected his head. After organ transplants, you need to use expensive medicines against immunity to save life.
