They're gonna bring the head down to 10C so that while the head is detached it won't like " die " or it'll slow down brain damage so they'll have time to detach and rettach it. Brain stays in the head the entire time since they're cutting at the lower neck area.
It was gonn be this guy named Valery who had this weird thing wrong with his muscle to where he cannot move at all and has been that way his whole life. They switched it up and now it's an unnamed patient and the dates been moved.
And the body is going to be from someone whos already dead who hasn't been named either ( because the body has to be... Fresher)
I would think it would be legally whoever's identity it is ( so the head) but biologically it would be whoevers body it is? But... Idk I'm a little fuzzy on biology but wasnt there something about your body is all new cells every year? Who's DNA would it then contain since its a different body and head?
Oh yeah no the people that are involved in these transplants will be on heavy amounts of immunosuppressants. Due in fact that the host body will attack the new foreign head. The body will replicate its own dna and the head its. So any child comes from the body’s dna. It will contain both dna’s simultaneously. And while there is the saying of a body being new on a cellular level every seven years it’s wrong because your brain cells won’t renew. (Except some very special cases of trauma and a lucky person with some good doctors) This is from my AP class and some books on the human genome I’ve read so don’t take what I say as gospel but as an educated guess.
I read up on it and the thing the post is referring to was the first operation on a human cadaver. Which was successful and the one they preformed on a monkey was also successful.
Still hasn’t happened, and the guy they had ready to go in 2015 has since backed out. But honestly good for him ‘cause he got a family and everything. Plus the doctor really doesn’t seem sure this procedure will work or that it won’t end up with the patient in extreme unending agony
And with what I understand of human rights policies in science, the participants will be volunteers that are absolutely informed of what they’re getting into. The science is viable and has been seen before to a certain extent in connecting a second dog head to the body of another dog. Those dogs didn’t live very long, but it’s been decades since then and medicine is incredibly advanced
Yeah I know all about the animal phase of the experiments, I'll be thrilled for the guy if he pulls through, but I predict his conclusion will be the same regardless of the surgery.
That was mostly to test if a second head can be sustained by connecting it to the circulatory system. It wasn’t a full transplant as in replacement of the head
I would think each one would do different things at different times, plus the surgery is going to be at least 36 hours so they'll probably rotate some of them
Well they can't really do that if they're trying to carefully attach and reattach it. It'll be lifted into the air for a couple of minutes while they replace tbe bodies but that's it.
