uhh. what?

Some old rich person might be walking around with YOUR BODY after you die? Are you an Organ Donor?

A head-transplant recipient would be kept in an induced coma for three to four weeks “to give time to the stumps to re-fuse (and avoid movements of the neck),” Canavero said in the paper. The recipient would also begin a regime of immunosuppression so the head does not reject the body.

Sounds fun...?

I'm on my third donor body, myself.

Sex changes that actually work!

That isn't going to turn out well.

Isn't science getting a little ahead of itself here. /puns

Can a head even survive without the rest of the body? I mean, unless they can sustain a head artificially, I doubt this surgery takes less than a minute or two.

Don't you just hate it when the stumps refuse to re-fuse? Just makes you want to throw this article out as refuse.

Also correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the majority of the immune system in the body? Therefore wouldn't it be the body rejecting the head and not the other way around?

No damn it, the head makes all the decisions...fuck the body.

Speak for yourself.

Well sometimes you fuck the head too.

 

[z1ggy]

I know for a fact my head makes 100% of my decisions.

 

[dawp]

just imagine you can have a eternal 20 year old body.

just imagine you can have a eternal 20 year old body.

So long as I can properly inspect the body first, I suppose I'm okay with that.

One this is possible next step is growing new bodies already compatible with you head tissue.

that is some matrix shit! the future is now. machines own us. it's over already.

So a young body with a really old head? I think the head has a shelf life that will expire. Hey, I would enjoy being attached to a young hot female body. Go ahead, tell me to fuck myself then, bitches.

I left that one open just for you.

This may be somewhat related, the russians did some experiments on keeping just a head alive along time ago, there are some youtube links in this link.

I knew there would be some weird ass fetish with this... male on top, female on the bottom?

Wouldn't he at the very least (if they could keep the head alive) be a quadriplegic? I mean somebody can fall over and crack their spine and never walk again let alone severing the head from the spine and reattaching it?
