Do you think the very first head transplant surgery is possible yes you read it right head not hair?

[blondfrog]

In 2017 a Russian doctor will attempt to perform the very first head transplant surgery on a man and move his head onto a completely different body.

Yeah that's not gonna work its too crazy science can never do it

Yeah its not gonna work at least not now the technology is not advanced enough in this time period

Yeah I think it could work

Jesus or Allah wouldn't like that those doctors are gonna burn in hell even if it is a success

I am religious and technology will never advance again humans have reached their capabilities especially in medical science

A sceintist did a head transplant on a monkey before and it lived but was paralyzed but it could still hear, smell, eat, and see. It died 9 days after surgery because its immune system rejected it. Back then they didn't have immunsuppresents like they do now though.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_J._White#Research

[DivaMonae]

It will never work once our head is disconnected from our brain stem we get a few seconds and that's it because we won't have circulating to our head any longer.

The closest thing to like this ever being possible would be for us to have our brain frozen and stored away once we die and in millions years having it attached to a robot... And I don't even think that's going to happen.

[blondfrog]

They did it with a monkey in the 1970s actually it lived for 9 days read the link to the updates. It cuold smell, eat, see the only reason it died was back then they didn't have immunosuppresents the monkey was paralyzed but this was in the 70's.

[DivaMonae]

So let's say it does work... One what body is this man getting? Two if it catches on instead of getting 50million surgeries to change people's appearance they would just get the surgery to get a better looking one and again where would they be getting these bodies from?

[blondfrog]

Dead bodies the brain helps sends signals to the rest of the body to work electric signals to the nerves and other organs and so on. So as long as the brain is working it could work they are gonna keep the brain's temperature 15-25 Celsius. It could work or not, but it would be interesting to see. If it does work are you for it or against it?

[DivaMonae]

But I'm wondering like are people going to agree to this like being a donaer once they die or we really don't have a say so

[blondfrog]

Yeah I see what your saying They will probably use bodies from other countries where people don't really have families or whatever like did you know a lot of the real bones anatomy classes use of course not all of them are real, but are usually from Indonesia? It will probably end up being like how they do it in the black market you know where people sometimes would sell other people's organs. I am no way condoning this, but I mean its not like people really know about how the bones are mainly from Indonesia. And I am guessing they would have very limited options of which body they would pick kinda like a person on a organ transplant waiting list.

[JamielovesKU]

No, I dont think its possible because there are too many nerves and other important blood vessels and what not that are connected to the brain. So if a person undergone something like that, they would never be the same, as in the video they may have to be in a chair for the rest of their lives...

[blondfrog]

They did it on a monkey in the 70's and it lived for 9 days what do you think of that? its in the update.

[JamielovesKU]

Yea. but it only lived for 9 days...

[blondfrog]

That was back when they didn't have immunsuppressents though it rejected the body because of its different white blood cells now they have drugs so that dose't happen. Would there be lots of side effects from those drugs sure but its better than living in a wheel chair for the rest of your life.

[JamielovesKU]

True

[JamielovesKU]

But where would the other persons head be...

[blondfrog]

It would be attached to another person's body who is already dead lol.

[JamielovesKU]

Thats scary lol I wouldn't want to be that person XD

[blondfrog]

Yeah lol haha

[JamielovesKU]

Thanks ☺

[blondfrog]

Sure thing ^_^

[ichot]

What level of technology we have access to is not something most common people can make a judgement of. Especially since knowledge of bleeding edge technology comes decades after the research, refinement, and testing.

I'm in the I don't know category. I'm actually quite disappointed you @asker didn't leave a position that does not assert any claims.

[blondfrog]

Fair enough probably because I doubt that anybody would care what I thought. But i am in the it could work category.

[OrangeBoy]

Science needs more pioneers, that's what make practicle stuff happen.
The guy definitely seems to have a plan, so, if there is someone thaat can make that happen, it's the russian dude.

I hope things go well and history is made.

[blondfrog]

Yeah and there are over a 100 other volunteers willing to do it too. I mean an African man in the 1970's took that leap of faith to undergo the very first organ transplant surgery and look now organ transplants are a common thing around the globe.

[9mfeo]

The Russians did a successful head transplant on a dog in the Space Race era. Lived about 30 minutes before rejecting the new head and dying.

[blondfrog]

There was one with a monkey actually and it lived for 9 days but that was in the 70's when they didn't have immunosuppressents back then. Did you read the articles and watch the video?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_J._White

[tattooedhandfet]

Its possible but there are a lot of factors to consider, just for the simple fact that there are veins and nerves and so much tissue to connect.
I hope the outcome is successful because he's deserving of it. Just by a few things he said in the interview😊

[pinkbubble]

To not talk about religious side , i think this is too crazy to succeed , isn't it? But if the doctor can succeed it and the guy survives all his life than it will be amazing but its remote possibility that it happens..

[blondfrog]

did you watch the video?

[pinkbubble]

Yes i did , It still sounds crazy cuz.. we r talking about a head O. O not a simple transplant its a whole head !

[blondfrog]

Yeah I never said it work I am just asking what others think but I still think it could.

[pinkbubble]

It might work but really low chances? Anyway who knows it just sounds so weird right now but maybe in the future it will be as normal as a simple procedure?
If the surgeon suceeds he will be my modal forever lol
But lets say it works which body is he going to use?

[blondfrog]

They use dead human bodies and a scientist in the 70s did a head transplant on a monkey before and it lived, but died after 9 days cause its body rejected it due to everyone having different unique white blood cells, but they didn't have immunosuppresnts back then like they do now.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_J._White#Research
read this its not long its pretty interesting huh?

[pinkbubble]

I know and i red it its pretty interessting yes , but isn't it against ethics to do so? I mean using dead bodies.. well i can't wait to see the result

[blondfrog]

I am sure before people die they would be willing to volunteer to give up their body after they die. Just like how some do so science could use their skeletons for education purposes.

[Taborlin]

There's a chance that it works but it isn't likely to be entirely successful. Even if he survives, there would probably be something wrong with him afterward.

[blondfrog]

Did you watch the video?

[karahiri]

Wow... It might be possible... but I can't imagine what kind of implications it will have.

[blondfrog]

They did it in the 70s on a monkey but it died 9 days after and they didn't have immunosuppressents back then so the immune system wouldn't reject the body. It would be cool if it could work.

[Dandeus]

We're all obviously a bunch of neurosurgeons here at G@G, so clearly we have informed opinions on the matter.

[blondfrog]

Lol hahah

[EmpatheticLady]

@Squidward, you had mentioned this already! Thoughts?

I don't think the patient will live too much longer after the transplant honestly, but it would be awesome if it works!

[Squidward]

Like I showed you on the wiki page, they've already successfully done that to rats. I am sure we have the technology to pull it off but is it ethical? That should be the question here.

[EmpatheticLady]

@Squidward Yes, I'm just not sure how long the human will last. Do you think it is?

[Squidward]

I think it is but I wouldn't want anybody walking in my body when I die xD

[blondfrog]

if you read the update they did it on a monkey but that was back then when there were no immunosuppresents and it lived for 9 days empatheicladyy

[EmpatheticLady]

Oh, I know that. @Squidward and I already discussed this a few days ago, specifically talking about the monkey. I still don't know how it'd do. It'd be interesting to see.

[blondfrog]

It will also consist of 150 surgeons that will probably increase the chances.

[TheSpartan]

@Squidward is it ethical? Of course it is!

I'd gladly donate (or sell) my deceased body to someone who would desperately need a head transplant.

[Mustachekitteh]

I don't think our technology is advanced enough to try that kind of thing yet. I mean they did try it once with a dog and kept it alive for a couple days but then it died.

[blondfrog]

They did it with a monkey too and that was in the 70s

[apple24]

ohhh I am more upset! That I WASn't tagged ! lol I am not sure to be honest! I am a negative person so i would say no its not gonna work !

[blue_sun]

I think it could very well work. Science needs more bravado these days. I really wish we were pushing our limits more, especially in medicine.

[TheDevilInside]

Neeeever gonna work.
If people Start doing this, pretty soon, "build your own GF/Bf" would follow

[blondfrog]

and what's wrong with that?

[TheDevilInside]

What's NOT wrong with that?

[blondfrog]

if you wanna kiss a android or have sex with it its not harming anyone. People already have sex with sex dolls this is just one step up. It saves the trouble of having to deal with the opposite genders crap and stupid ridiculous standards and some guys can't get any like me cause we are ugly.

[Blueeyes81]

I think its possible. They did so on animals back in the 50' I believe.

[TheSpartan]

I'm almost certain the he'll be fine and the surgery will be a success.

[Anonymous]

It is extremely risky for the patient, but whether it is successful or not a lot will be learned from the procedure.

[PANDAmonium]

That would be fucking nuts. Also why am I tagged in this question?

[blondfrog]

Its an easier way to get people to answer your questions instead of pm them

[Waffles731]

Its not possible, plus some of your answers are rather bigoted

[mr90skid]

Damn R. I. P to that patient we not ready yet

[dudeman]

shit lets see what happens.

[Anonymous]

Maybe it could work...
