First Human Head Transplant Could Happen Within Two Years

Sergio Canavero, a doctor in Italy, has drawn up the plans for a human head transplant

A surgeon says the first human head transplant could take place within the next two years.

Sergio Canavero, a doctor in Turin, Italy, has drawn up the plans for the radical surgery and hopes to begin assembling a team this June, the Guardian reports.

“If society doesn’t want it, I won’t do it. But if people don’t want it, in the U.S. or Europe, that doesn’t mean it won’t be done somewhere else,” he said. “I’m trying to go about this the right way, but before going to the moon, you want to make sure people will follow you.”

Although Canavero says the technology isn’t far off from making this surgery possible, he could confront a range of ethical issues. “The real stumbling block is the ethics,” Canavero told New Scientist magazine. “Should this surgery be done at all? There are obviously going to be many people who disagree with it.”

The first successful head transplant was completed in 1970 on a monkey. The monkey couldn’t move its body and died after nine days.

Karen Lewis went to Mexico for gastric bypass surgery, maybe she'd be up for trying transplant surgery someplace other than the U.S. or Europe.

the Liger is not too far off

Ligers are the worlds biggest cat, but they dont always grow well, many times the legs cant support the body and they become deformed.

Benefits (or drawbacks) of seeing a Wildlife Biologist.

Most are in captivity, soem are on hunting ranches, although they aren't hunted, i's kinda cool seeing some exotic animals when you drive in for your hunt.

Studying the Sagebrush Grassland Grouse this week...yeah serious!

I believe those were the last words of Jesus too.

I think we are talking about different Jesuses or Jesii.

Now if they could make a Muhammus that would solve a whole lot of problems, at least temporarily.
