My question would be…even if they were able to reattach everything and have it work properly…wouldn’t the brain get damage from the time it didn’t have oxygen while they were doing the procedure?

I think they know the time it takes to cause damage or maybe they freeze it?

I’d never donate my head for transplant.

I owe so many people so much money, the poor sap who got my head would never get a moment’s peace.

I dunno if I fully believe thats possible yet…fixing the severed spine maybe…but I would be skeptical of a full head transplant. Seems like too many obstacles to overcome without complications. We’ll see in the years to come.

plus you need a cool 100 million for the surgery too.
