Human head transplants could now be possible using currently available medical techniques, according to an Italian neurosurgeon who thinks he has worked out how it could be done. In a project proposal published by the medical journal Surgical Neurology International , Dr Sergio Canavero outlines his method for the ” Head Anastomosis Venture” — or HEAVEN. The procedure would involve severing the heads of two human patients simultaneously using an “ultra-sharp blade” , cooling and flushing out the “recipient” head before attaching its new body with an advanced polymer “glue” . Dr Canavero suggests that the realigning of head and body could also be achieved using “electrofusion” , in an approach not entirely unlike that of Mary Shelley’s Dr Frankenstein.
But the Italian, who works for the Turin Advanced Neuromodulation Group and has previously published research on whole-eye transplants , says that his project is no fiction, and bases it on a similar experiment on Rhesus monkeys in the 1970s in which the patient survived for eight days.A few years after this first test 40 years ago, its protagonist Dr Robert White noted that: “What has been accomplished in the animal model — prolonged hypothermic preservation and cephalic transplantation, is fully accomplishable in the human sphere.”In laying out what he says is “the groundwork for the first successful human head transplant” , Dr Canavero admits that his polymer gel reattachment method (known as GEMINI) would not be perfect . But he notes that: “as little as 10% of descending spinal tracts are sufficient for some voluntary control of locomotion in man.”

An attention-grabbing dialogue is worth comment. I believe that it is best to write more on this topic, it may not be a taboo subject however generally persons are not sufficient to speak on such topics. To the next. Cheers
