According to Facebook,the first human head transplant operation is scheduled for December
2017.
Moving a healthy human head from a subject with an unhealthy body and move the head onto
otherwise-healthy, brain-dead donor body.
Crazy!
[Intro] But despite what you might have read, humanity
is not much closer to transplanting a human head to a new body than we were last year.
Sorry guys.
The rumor of the first human head transplant (or more accurately, the first full body transplant),
was started by Dr Sergio Canavero - and italian chinese neurosurgeon.
He started making headlines a few years ago because he claimed that he'd had found a
technique for successfully amputating a persons head and regrafting it onto a healthy body.
His technique involved making a very sharp incision of the spinal cord and placing the
patient into a state of therapeutic hypothermia to allow the body to recover.
BUT whilst this technique sounds cool, it's still a long way from solving all the technical
problems of a head transplant.
See, to transplant a head, youd have to sever and reattach the spinal cord.
A severed spinal cord usually means paralysis and death, so voluntarily severing one's
spine, moving the head to a completely different body and somehow attaching it….
Is gunna be difficult.
You've also got massive arteries running through your neck, not to mention shittones
of muscles, bones, ligaments, tendons - A head transplant would be a massive operation,
way massiver than the first successful Face transplant successfully attempted last year.
But whatever - is a head transplant mission difficult, or mission impossible.
Well, Dr Canavero has found a willing patient for the procedure - Valery Spiridonov, a Russian
man with Werdnig-Hoffmann disease, a form of spinal muscular atrophy.
Dr Canavero also has published papers on his technique, And claims to have successfully
transplanted a monkey's head.
But, unfortunately, no evidence has been released detailing the monkey head transplant.
And his papers, whilst totally cool, were about nerve regeneration in a patient with
spinal injury.
That's still totally different from nerve transplant to a whole new body.
Sadly, a full head transplant procedure still has a lot of hurdles to jump over before it's
possible, including how to keep the brain alive for hours without blood flow.
It might be possible, eventually, but that time is far, far away from this time.
The real question for Sciq viewers is - if a transplant were possible, would you want
someone elses head on your body, or someone elses body attached to your head!
