if youre talking about the guy having his head transplanted it sounds like he doesnt have much to lose, especially if the disease is very far along
If they can do this, then why can't they reconnect the damaged spinal cords of people that have been paralized due to trama? You think that step would have been the first issue solved before they jumped to "let's reconnect a head to a body". I'm calling shenanigans.
maybe theres a difference in the way intentionally separate things vs when theyre damaged in an accident
This, I suspect, on a longer term bases is where the medical profession thinks the money will be. Think what an aging billionaire would pay for a twenty something working body. I am sure that someone will raise the question of "Medical Ethics". These issues seemed to get solved at the million dollar plus level.
True, but the nerves will grow. Couldn't they just cut out the damaged section, then wait for them to grow...then reattach them. In theory it would be less difficult than a whole head swap.
Wow, that's insane. Hope to see an update here when it happens.
The monkey they did the transplant with had no motor function below his neck, and he/she did die soon after the procedure
I was under the impression that once severed, the spinal column can not "reattach"
(Insert head/fellatio jokes about the transgender stuff)

Yeha the monkey couldnt breathe on its own afterwards.
I do wonder why they can help people with spinal cord injuries. I did see that they are able to implant a "chip" that acts as the spinal cord and complete the signal circuit. Allowing mice to walk again after being paralyzed.

This, like many other things, is a matter of a learning curve, time and technology. How steep the curve, or how long the time are the present unknowns.
Someone, in an earlier post, ask the question "why isn't this effort and money being put into helping people who presently have spinal injuries"? The answer to this is actually simple, almost all of the present cases are dependent on either public money of insurance company money and neither one will spend money on this type of research. This is aimed at the people who can and will write a hundred million plus check for a new functioning body. If and when this can be made to work, and the price brought down to say five to eight million, then few healthy homeless or run-a-ways will be safe.
hopefully they make everything line up correctly:
I'm sure this will make headlines, successful or not.
