Take the head of the person suffering from an incurable hurt and transplant it to a healthy body! At first this idea sounds like a serious science fiction, but an Italian doctor Sergio Canavera claims to be a head to work. A first order, predicts, could be carried out in two years.
Cosmetic Surgery
Changing bodies, published by New Scientist, would cost 7.5 million pounds and to start would provide a new opportunity for life to people who are, for example, paralyzed or suffering from diseases of which they die off muscles or their body spread cancer. But the time would be, believes Canavera, such operations could be used to extend the life of healthy people as a form of "unbeatable cosmetic surgery".
And although critics of the idea very much, Canavera says that the operation feasible because all the necessary techniques exist and should be applied only. And he already has and potential patients who would agree to such a procedure. Controversial doctor plans to release their ideas on a large medical conference this summer, at which plans to seek and support colleagues to controversial surgery and could be carried out for two years. Where exactly would perform surgery, yet to be decided, but Canavera said he would like it to be in London.
The doctor and described the entire process he envisages. The body in which the transplanted the head could be obtained from organ donors whose "brain dead". Then to the donor and the patient at the same time cut off the head with the spinal cord, after which the patient's head moved to the donor's body, and to polyethylene glycol merged the two ends of the spinal cord. Then the patient received a small electric shocks to stimulate the spinal cord. The result should be that the patient, when it wakes up from a coma, can independently move, feel face even speak the same voice as before.
The first was a monkey
The first successful transplantation of the head is made of 70-ies of the last century the monkey. But the monkey after it survived only nine days because his immune system did not accept the transplanted hairs.
For Canavera this kind of operation was completely moral to people who have no other hope for a cure. However, there are of different opinions and the question arises, and what will happen if the person who received the new body decides one day to have children. Biologically speaking, that the child was a child donor.
- Parts such as blood vessels, bones and muscles can be connected. Questionable is the spinal cord. Although I'm not a neurosurgeon, to my knowledge it is very difficult - says prof. Bojan Biočina, Chairman of the Department of Cardiac Surgery, University Hospital Center Zagreb.

Operation
The muscles and veins connected to before they are placed in the patient intentionally induced coma for three to four weeks to prevent any movement of the head
Recovery
Doctor Canavera is convinced that the patient, after it was pulled out of the coma, be able to move independently, it will feel even face even speak the same voice as he spoke before
