Cugalabanza Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 (edited) They wouldn't need to do all that messy spinal cord stuff if they just used Dr. Hfuhruhurr's patented cranial screw top procedure. Edited May 2, 2016 by Cugalabanza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cugalabanza Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Anyway, isn't it misleading to call it a "head transplant?" It's really an "everything except the head" transplant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dib Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 This is pretty scary. Imagine if they ever unthaw Hitler's head...I shudder at the thought. Pretty risky considering all that's left of his head is a piece of skull. Wouldn't unthaw mean refreeze? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDH Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 I'll put my money on the guy doesn't even get a few minutes of consciousness before he dies. And yeah, it's really a body transplant, no? It's not like the guy who was the body is going to be in control if it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punching Bag Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Anyway, isn't it misleading to call it a "head transplant?" It's really an "everything except the head" transplant. Yes it should be called a body transplant - if you get a new heart you do not call it "everything buy the heart transplant". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
