World's First Head Transplant
As I'm sure you're all aware, this December will mark the first ever attempt at a full human head transplant.
So, this has brought up a bunch of moral/ethical dilemmas as well as the question of whether or not this will actually work. The process seems extremely complex, and many other surgeons have called it "speculative".
If it does succeed, what does this mean for us all as humans?
Do you think that we are playing God? Or are you excited for the direction that we are going?

According to other articles I've read about this he's already done this before with mice, he's also managed to attach the head of a mouse to the body of a rat making two headed rats which sounds like something straight out of a fictional novel but you never know.
None of his subjects lived for more than a month though so I wonder what kind of result he even expects from the human head transplant.
are you shy? That's cute ;)
Another question, where do they get the body? I assume it would have to be a living body since a dead body already has most of it's cells dead.

I heard that it's from some guy who has multiple brain tumors or something, so he decided to gift his life/body for this experiment
all of the dummy, none of the thicc
I did link an article that gives you most of the information you'd need to structure the discussion around.
Just saying!
i dont think its ok because when you have an extra head it will hit the cealing alot and might hurt things
PM me with any and all questions
Ive heard this story dates from 2013...and it keeps resurfacing every now and then.
It's not gonna happen any time soon

I looked this up and saw an article from june 2017 that said it wasnt going to happen and that the man that was undergoing the surgery gave up hope, and is instead going to have a spinal surgery done. I also saw videos about this from over two years ago talking about the surgery, so im not sure how up to date this still is.
