Yes it appears as if this surgeon has a long history of scheduling and delaying this procedure, as it has been delayed again to 2018.

and they also have been experimenting on it for ages.

Well if this works, and the man is able to live on another body but still be completely the same we could be on our way to everlasting life or at least highly extended life. Because we could keep transporting one brain, or head to another body and so on. I wouldn't classify this as playing God more 'Adjusting the inevitable'.

Jesus, could you imagine? The implications of being able to transfer a head to another body is just unimaginable for me. It would completely revolutionize medicine in my opinion.

We're just one step closer to immortality.

is that not exactly what "playing God" is? if that's not, what does playing God mean to you?

I heard about this on the radio, is there any more information on this?

i mean it would have to be some pretty tight circumstances like a gunshot to the head outside a hospital as this was about to be done(if this becomes a common practice)... if we do this so nobody is hurt like this is the new way to commit suicide or something like you just detonate your body... and ya... unless its like a body swap deal idk.

From what I know about this particular case it seems like an elaborate publicity stunt or something.
Recently though China has stated its intent to begin attempting full head transplants in the foreseeable future.

Man this shit sounds like a flout to human in basic
I may understand that people have lost some single parts of their body, and really needs organic transplantation to stay alife and reach their goal.
But at some point you need to ask yourself, you mixed 2 different persons in a unnatural way.. and which one is the actual living from them both or did they just fusion together ?? How to call them ? I don't know it kinda sounds sick man, if 2 persons decide to stick together like that I wouldn't be sure if I still would want to know them
