Advance in Medicinal Tech: Head/Body Transplant a "Possibility"

Shocked and bemused... According to a Dr. Sergio Canavero of the University of Turin humans may one day be able to change bodies... or bodies can change heads...

In his paper, published in the open access journal Surgical Neurology International, Canavero outlines a plan to cool the subjects’ head and spine to 18ºC, use "clean cuts" to sever the two spinal cords, then drain the blood from the transplanted head before fusing the two spinal cords together with an inorganic polymer "glue." He cites supporting research in dogs and guinea pigs showing that the reattachment ought to be possible.
