Breitbart: A Chinese surgeon and a controversial Italian neurosurgeon will attempt to transplant the head of a terminally disabled Russian man onto a body that could allow him to survive.
The distant concepts of science fiction are once again becoming reality, just as they have before. I recently spoke to a consultant on the brilliant Deus Ex: Mankind Divided about how their cast of augmented characters might fare in our own immediate future. But, if anything, the cast of this futurist medical drama is even more dramatic.
One of the surgeons has a bronzed pig ear proudly displayed in his office. The other compares himself favorably to Frankenstein and Josef Mengele while he sells souvenirs of himself. Together, they will try to transplant the head of a terminal test subject onto another body. As you might expect, the reactions they’re getting are mixed. MORE
What was the name on that brain? Abi. What could go wrong.
They might have to reattach each others’ heads if the moslem head-loppers find out they are doing this.
Sounds legit.
What could go wrong?
Okay, since nobody else will do it….
“IT’S . . . .AL-I-I-I-I-V-V-E-E!!!!”
…”onto a body that could allow him to survive”
Didn’t know Caitlyn Jenner was available for taking. 😉
…Well, the poor guy is terminal anyway.
But this sounds like an awful, terrible, no good idea.
The slogan going around at work is “Democrat voters are so stupid they’d vote for Hillary’s brain in a jar in November.”
Ann, did you tell Brad we work in the same office?
No, Sylvia, you tell him; I don’t want him stalking me.
They’ve done heart, lung and liver transplants so why wouldn’t this work?
If they can get the nerves to somehow hook up right that would be the key. I imagine it will be quite unpleasant at first, but it’s fascinating.
Chinese, Italian, Russian – – OK, what’s the punch line?
“Doctor, will I be able to play the piano afterward?”
There I was, listening to music while perusing iotw posts when I happened upon this one. I wasn’t even paying attention to the song until the chorus kept repeating.
And what song just happened to be playing…..?
State of my Head by Shinedown.
Too funny.
Obama the body donor? I’m all for it. Perhaps a donkey head for him?
Paul Anka was years ahead of his time with…
“Put Your Head on My Shoulders” 👿
Actually, I’m all for this. Think of the poor guy who volunteered. He’s been given a death sentence and wants even the slightest chance to have a better life, or even to pioneer a process that can be learned from and someday help others. Who’s to deny him this?
Think of how Frankensteinish a heart transplant sounded at one time? Now, it can be done.
