Iād never donate my head for transplantā¦

This is really interesting to hear because itās amazing of how far science has come, but am I the only one whoās a little nervous about what the finished product is going to look like? Even still, I hope things go well for this guy.

This gives me the creeps
I never would of thought, not in 50 years at least
What if the body starts rejecting the head like u see in organ transplants

well this is creepy 2.0ā¦ but I do hope the guy gets set up to live a little. A normal life is priceless.
two bodies laying next to each otherā¦ the blood system is switched and the heart is startedā¦ see how that worksā¦ blood flow to the brain securedā¦ head severance after some sedation to prevent the trauma and shock of disconnect from the bodyā¦
head less corpse forced to life as the machine it isā¦ the alive corpse left for dead at the disconnect. No going back thenā¦ hope the body isnāt rejected.
The mashup of nerves is absurdā¦ the entire bodily systemā¦ really? Let alone the neurological coordination the mans brain probably lacksā¦
I can decide if I want to cry or vomitā¦ but I guess both go hand in hand.

Itās actually an Italian surgeon doing the transplant so your title is misleading, and the surgery is being done on the Russian but not by the Russians.

i dont know why the guy cant accept that that is the way he was made and just learn to live with his problems like so many other people with disabilities do,

The guy who will get a hair transplant has a very rare illness and the doctors say that he will die soon, a head transplantation could prevent him from dieing even though I donāt believe that it will work and I think he will die anyway. So yeah, this surgery theoretically can prolong his life

Werdnig Hoffman disease is something youāre born with. His life isnāt in any great danger. He has been like this his entire life. He is literally signing up for a risky experiment just so he can get out of his wheelchair. Russia must treat their disabled citizens terrible, for this to sound like the more appealing option.

Maybe you shut watch and interview with him that i watched. Heās only doing it because the doctor and he thinks that he wonāt live that much longer. Or you think he is silly enough to risk his own life?

Would you be able to link the interview? All the research I was able to find said it was very dangerous in infancy, but then settles down.

if you want a link to his interview in Russian where he says that he is 30 years old and that people with his illness leave until 20 i can give it to youā¦so you are wrong saying that his life is not in danger. maybe you can use a web translator to translate it. it is the very last paragraph. He also says that his health is deteriorating
