Italian Neuroscientist Head Transplant
Although this article is not perfectly aligned with my theme for this blog, I thought it was too interesting not to share. Plus, neither the doctor nor patient in this story are United States citizens so it kind of works -- right?
Italian neuroscientist, Dr. Sergio Canavero, recently announced that he will perform the world's first head transplant late this year. Yes, I said head transplant. According to CBS, Dr. Canavero has been planning this surgery for years. He has successfully practiced his transplant on mice and has published several papers in Surgical Neurology International. He has, only recently, found a human patient to volunteer for the transplant.
Valery Spiridonov (pictured left) suffers from Werdnig-Hoffman Disease, a terminal disease that is slowly eating away at his muscles and nerve cells. His body is shriveled, weak, and confined to a wheelchair. There is no known treatment for Werdnig-Hoffman disease, so Spiridonov hopes that Dr. Canavero can give him a new body before this disease takes his life.
Dr. Canavero has partnered with Chinese surgeon, Dr. Xiaoping Ren, and together, they are actively searching for a family that is willing to donate a body. The procedure calls for a brain-dead male patient and once found, the doctors will move forward and set the body up for decapitation.
The doctors estimate that this procedure will cost upwards of $10,000,000 and promise a 90% success rate. However, clearly, this surgery is controversial. Many are extremely disturbed and many medical professionals argue that it will not work. Arthur Caplan, the head of medical ethics at NYU Langone Medical Center is quoted saying, "It is both rotten scientifically and lousy ethically". Although I'm intrigued, I would have to agree.
If a donor is found, the surgery is expected to take place in China. This procedure will likely be prohibited from taking place in the United States and other European countries, due to ethical concerns.
I don't have the heart to go into the very gory details about the surgery, as reading more will have you holding onto your neck. However, if you really want to learn more about the decapitation, feel free to read about it here. I warned you, though.

Unfortunately there are a lot of AIDS/Herpes denials on Herbal cures still out there. I did research on them after I was tested HIV/Herpes positive I was so worried am I going to die soon. I continue my search again on herbal remedy for Std, then I found lots of testimony on how Dr Itua Herbal Medicine Cured HIV/Aids, Herpes Virus,Copd, Hepatitis, Diabetes, On websites sharing their testimonies, which made much more sense to me. All the authors pronounce Dr Itua As a man with Good Heart, I pick interest in their testimonies and I contact him about my situation then he gave me procedure how it works, I proceed after one week he courier his Herbal Medicine to me and instruct me on how to drink it for two weeks to cure. I receive His Herbal Medicine so I drank it for two weeks as I was told then after 2 days I go for a test I found out I was cured from HIV/Aids & Herpes Virus, I pay homage to him 2 months ago to his country to celebrate with him on his African festival which he told me it usually happens every year. I know there are lots of (HIV)/Aids&Herpes Virus denials of Herbal Remedy movement the same few doctors and they represent a very small faction of the community. I could have died because I refused Natural Herbs Cures for so long, but luckily, by the grace of God I am alive to tell my story.
