Human Head Transplant




"This may surprise you, but I think we're here," said Dr. Robert White, "You have to turn that around and say when the brain is alive, and everything else is dead, the individual, the soul, the component that characterizes us, is still intact, still functioning."
The "heads in jar" technology fetured in Futurama may not be all that far into the future after all. The heads of mokey's have already been transplanted to the bodies of other (less fortunate) monkey's and researchs beleive that the human brain is also capable of sustaining such transplant as well.

"For the first time in the history of medicine we were now able to keep alive a highly sophisticated animal's brain," Dr. White, 76, says. "The next step was to develop a transplant model where we actually took the head to the body of another animal from which its own head had been removed."
Wouldnt it be awsome if some day you could go to the "head mussem" and have a chat with former presidents or the briliant minds from the past? haha.. Thats halfbakery , please forgive me, what happened to halfbakery.com?? That site was revolutionary.
