Don't lose your head! Full-body transplants will be possible within two years

[enhu]

Hell I already lose my head after reading the first pages of this thread. If its going to successfully happen, the possibilities are too much for this procedure. This is a lot of trouble compare to the shredding technology that we saw on a movie. Now I'm really pissed off thinking there is really life after death.

It is still far from reality. This is a very complicated surgical procedure and under the current circumstances, I would say that the chances of success is less than 5%. Not many people will be ready to undergo this procedure, unless they are really really desperate.

I strongly doubt it. more like another throw-in

It's not going to happen. Too many connections to the body need to be made. I'm assuming they have to take the spine with them.

And don't brain cells start to die rapidly after 10 seconds without oxygen?

To protect brain cells of the recipient from damage due to hypoxia (lack of oxygen), they are going to cool the head to a state of deep hypothermia. It is not a problem, well, not their main problem, at least. Really, people who go through heart transplantations manage to survive somehow and still be in their right mind after the operation. Lack of bodies is not an issue either since every day thousands of people die in car wrecks with their heads smashed and bodies mostly intact.

Oh its a great news! after my accident my body was deformed totally now I can be back to shape again

I would be looking like a sexy chick like selena gomez yippeee

[inactivechorley5]

I will be transplanting to look like vin diesel. He is my ideal hero

So much about within 2 years - no having the body of a super model - damn

[farida_y323]

Science has been invented so many things as well as in doctors treatment. If body parts are damage then it is possible to exchange that parts or if full body can damage or displace then it could place the right track. But for head there is no exchange till now. Within two years slowly the full body can transplant but head is not, so be careful.

Is it a rumour? or really such thing is gonna happen after somedays?

I don't think such an advance leap in neuro surgery will be available to the public in two years. It actually involves grafting a brain with the brain stem to another body with a preexisting working nervous system. This tech would involve neural grafting, neural regeneration and neuro surgery so advanced that we should just ne in star wars. If they dix have this tech then we should've had a cure for other neuro degenerative diseases such as Parkinson's.

It is pretty obvious that this scientific revolution is not a joke or rumour. Most of the surgeons and medical scientists have been experimenting to realize successful full-body transplants for many years. For that reason, This kind of transplantation will come true soon.

I can't point out what but you seem to be confused about this idea. It doesn't involve neurosurgery or brain cell grafting, even though I don't know what the latter would mean in practice. In simple terms, the idea discussed here is about attaching someone's head to someone else's body. Technically, it is quite feasible, albeit the person whose head gets transplanted in this way won't feel his new body. This is the major problem.
