Human Head Transplantation- Is it possible?

Thanks for the info...it helped..I was just wondering who is going to behead me..and then worried whether they'd want my body or my head...I will sleep well tonight thanks to you.

@vandana7 It isn't currently possible. No reputable neuro surgeon thinks it will be in the near future. There are multiple issues...I am looking at medical not ethical issues.

@Mike197602 Even if it were possible, wouldn't there be laws to prevent that? Or at least try to stop it? If it were done on animals, there will be uproar of "animal cruelty, wouldn't it?

But I love soul, not body. Love me, Love Soul

Well said @vandana7.

@vandana7 You are vampire Queen. You can regenerate it or something.

@silvermist I didn't even think it was possible.

@vandana7 Because brain is pretty messed up. For all of us

Few? hmmm..I better be gone before that...but I am scared they will dig my grave to pull out my body...sigh.. On a serious note...they are trying to create kidneys and hearts using stem cells, succeeding to fair degree. Then they can do that to head and brain as well. Why do they need to go through this procedure?

@Daljinder I would never be ready for that kind of technology.

@just4him I am more bothered that I don;t believe that science is ready for such experiment at this moment

@NJChicaa That's make the twp of us.

same here

@Daljinder lol sometimes

@snowy22315 Really? Do they deserve it?

@Daljinder they had started experiments a long time ago.

Very true @louievill Maybe in the future (way into the future) we might have the technology mastered. But 2017 is way too soon dude.

@Daljinder The whole idea of head transplants sounds like a Frankenstein movie. I was just trying to make it more interesting. It might be of benefit to those who believe they were born the wrong gender.

Me too...sigh.

@sishy7 lol I totally thought of Frankenstein when I read this.

@Daljinder I believe the same

@SHOHANA That it is but I don't believe they are ready for this.

@CoralLevang Either one!

@1creekgirl Hmm... A nice prospect.

I wonder if Hitler ever wanted to look like somebody else or want somebody else's physique...there may be experiments like that...

@vandana7 I remember your obsession with Hitler and the Third Reich but I also remember that I didn't enjoy the discussions.

@MALUSE You are right!

@redurnet Yeah I also read about the animal head transplant. They didn't survive for long. The longest surviving one lasted about 6 months. I can't imagine how they could possibly do it with human.

@yugocean Myth or not, the people and the age you are talking about was of extraordinary people. An age where humans, demons and Gods all lived tiogether in harmony.....mostly. They had divine powers and what not. But this doctor is an ordinary human and has no knowledge or wisdom that those people in that age did. With science we may reach the point where we will be able to carry out this procedure successfully but all I am saying is that now is not that time. The best of the best doctors, scientists and technology aren't ready for this right this point of time. In the future, yes but not now.

@skysnapo true but I don't think we are ready for this yet.

@Juliaacv Just you wait....they will insert robotic organs or enhancements into the human body to increase life expectancy next. We will essentially be robots then.

@Daljinder I found that specific article using The Wayback Machine, but when I tried to place that link here it only gave the 404 error. Here is the link to an article that remains available about this. This is a strangely compelling/repellent article/thought to me. (I simply don't understand how someone would feel okay about using someone else's body as a type of crutch, but maybe I don't have the right mindset for this type of thinking.... *sigh!* I am not sure I WANT that type of mindset, either!) DJ, I always thought I was very open-minded about everything around me. Excited to learn about the leaps and bounds humans have taken in every conceivable direction... but I was mistaken. I am NOT as open-minded as I thought. (I am a weak human, after all. I don't like this thought, either. ) What is going to happen makes me sick to my stomach. USING someone else's body to.... live? without the driving thoughts of the original owner is severely disturbing.... Hmmm... Have I made you look at me... in a new way, Dearheart? (Believe me, I don't know how to look at myself right now... I couldn't donate my body to something like this and would not allow my head to be transplanted, either.) I'm sorry...

@DaddyEvil I have read this and I am just typing a quick reply to let you know that I know about your new discussion so, I thought I will take the discussion over there instead of jumping here and there. I also want to see what others have to say. So, see you there after I am done answering all my notifications. They have been stacking up for some time.

@VivaLaDani13 This is the second time the link has expired but no worries. The surgery was cancelled as the later reports said. They are even contemplating it is more disconcerting for the time being

@Scrapper88 I don't blame you!
