In December of this year will be realized the first transplant of head in a human being. This was done in China in the city of Harbin and not in Germany as had been said before.
The Italian Neurosurgeon Sergio Canavero has said in an interview, that now the person in charge of performing this transplant will be Dr. Xiaoping Ren and his team.
Also, I confirm that the Russian Valery Spiridonov, who suffers from spinal muscular atrophy, will not be the first patient in whom this transplant was performed.
A head transplant is the transfer of the part of the body that involves the grafting of the head of an organism into the body of another. The head transplant leads to decapitate the patient. I still do not know if any human being has been exposed to such an act. This experiment has been tested on some animals such as dogs, monkeys, rats, etc.
Here are some videos that show the experiment with animals
Strong pictures are appreciated discretion
Although this has been done, animals do not have the necessary technology to join a cut spinal cord, this type of technology has not yet been developed. Meaning that this person who undergoes a head transplant would become quadriplegic; This would not happen unless the indicated treatment was achieved.
On the other hand the neurosurgeon Sergio Canavero indicates that these technological barriers that prevented in 1970 to be able to carry out this type of procedure with success, "already have been surpassed today". But these words have caused great disbelief in the scientific community because if this technological barrier had already been overcome, other spinal cord injuries could be treated.
The research was carried out by the neurosurgeon Canavero, part of the principles of Robert White doctor, this famous surgeon transforms the head of mono monkey the body of another with relative success. Without being able to connect the nervous system. This procedure has been proposed of possible utility to people who are already quadriplegic.
"In conclusion this is an operation of great risks and challenges, which has taken lives of animals; And coming to challenge the nature of man, creating this, in this way an alternative of life not common among living beings which in a future of being successful this type of operation people could buy a body and pay their operation and live A few more years, Will it be a success or Will it be a failure? who knows. Is it good or bad? Will have everyone's opinion"
