Human Head Transplant
Don't feel like writing anything but want to share this. Thought it was interesting and if successful shows a lot of promise for a few decades down the road once 3D organ printing (already a thing) is more refined. I imagine a few decades after that, we'll be able to just peel off people's faces and spray on new musculature/skin as needed. Just have to figure out how to keep the brain healthy indefinitely. Perhaps it can be replaced/updated in chunks to allow integration and data recovery?

I don't think that the head will accept the body or visa versa. The sheer amount of trauma on the bodies systems would be beyond resolve. Not to mention side effects and complications. Removing the head and keeping it alive is possible to an extent. Doctors already transplant lots of organs but I don't think there is any chance in hell that a full head transplant is possible yet.
I think it's going to just be a surgical butchering.

This will be good. Then we can sign warrants for our dead bodies for $$$ and give it to our families when we pass. I'm sure my body would go for a couple mil no doubt.

Yeah reattaching the spinal cord is the big issue. They have done a few head transplants with animals already in the 50s (X-files anyone?). The transplanted heads can be kept alive with machines but they never survive on their own.

Head transplants that result in a full or even partial return to function are very far off, like several generations at least.
The neural wiring between the brain and the body is immensely complex. The chances of, for example, axons from the chemoreceptors that monitor blood oxygen in your carotid bifurcation being properly linked to the respiratory regulatory centers located in the brainstem are slim. Without those kinds of linkages, you can't maintain homeostasis. And there are millions of them. | ||

how about the liver being completely out of sync with the head for one. theres your millions. this is a trainwreck idea without further technology and understanding. 5-6 generations, at least. they are closer to supporting a floating head. at least with an attempt at a floating head you have some things you can begin mimicking through trial and error. the liver and such. A transplant attempt in this lifetime is unethical. This is the shittiest clickbait ive seen but hey its MSN.

lol are u fucking kidding me.
we still have no idea how SSRI's work with any proven scientific model and many neuropsychiatric medications (save for amphetamine) are not understood and only speculative. and u think were going to transplant a human head? good 1.

Head will have to come with the spine attached.
