Head Transplantation: The Future Is Now | Dr.Sergio Canavero | TEDxLimassol

  • NOTE FROM TED: We've flagged this talk, which was filmed at an independent TEDx event, because it appears to fall outside TEDx's curatorial guidelines. This talk is best viewed as a speculative what-if scenario, and with awareness that the 2017 surgeries performed by Dr. Canavero on human cadavers have raised practical and ethical concerns in the scientific community. The talk contains statements about nerve regeneration that are questioned by many neuroscientists. The guidelines we give our TEDx organizers are described in more detail here: storage.ted.com...
    Dr Canavero believes that impossible is only a way of the mind. By changing perspective, everything becomes attainable.
    He proved so when in three months at age 27 worked out the mechanism of one of the most intractable medical mysteries ever, central pain syndrome.
    Against accepted neurological lore, he restored partial consciousness in patients in the persistent vegetative state and introduced motor cortex stimulation for the treatment of movement disorders and stroke rehabilitation.
    In 2013, he made worldwide news with his project of cerebrosomatic anastomosis (Head Transplant) and again in 2014 with his cortical stimulation proposal for the treatment of psychopaths.
    He authored several books and more than 100 scientific papers. He directs the Turin Advanced Neuromodulation Group, a Think Tank for the advancement of neuromodulation.
    Dr Canavero believes that the brain does not generate consciousness, but only filters it. His goal is to open the filter and see what lies beyond.
    This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

      He will fail. But many things will be learn that day. I don't believe he thinks this will work perfectly, but i believe he might prove it can be done. There is many goals to achieve here,
      + first the patient's head must be alive after the operation, conscious is a plus
      + also lungs and heart nerves have to be connected in order for him the breath having a heartbeat without help from a machine.
      +Many more unconscious nerves must be working in order for him the feel his new body
      + Will the signals from the body be well interpreted by the brain of someone else
      + To move around his nerves and the donor nerves must be joined perfectly (this part is a work of art really)
      + There is a rejection risk like any operation but the organ would not be a part of the body, it would be the hole body.
      When all this is working, which will not. There will be more issues to look at.
      + How will the patient brain adapt to another body, relearning to walk drive
      + how can he develop the ability to have precise gestures
      + how long can someone live having another man's body if none of the above cause death.
      + is this moral (many people will believe this is morally wrong)

      No, he's pushing hype. While there are various things in medicine that seemed impossible and now are, there are so many complications to head transplantation it's not even funny.
      It would be far better if we could figure out how to fix spinal issues, which you would need to do anyway to reconnect a new head to a new body.
      Our bodies reject things. it's hard enough to do face transplants with out things just going "nope" and decaying or the antibodies attacking it.
      The more likely option is that instead we give artifical bodies and limbs, as both the brain and living tissue left can adapt to that much easier than a foreign biological body.
      It would be amazing if this was true, but even so, the better option is an artifical body that we can make in time feel just like a humans, but be far more sturdy and likely easier to fix if something does happen to it.
      It sucks that this probably got a lot of people looking into head transplants hopes up. There is an answer for them, but it's not gonna be a head transplant. There are too many factors to reattatch and make work. At best, you'd just reparalyze the new body because the brain and part of the old spinal cord don't play nicely.
      Think about it this way. it takes YEARS for our bodies and brain to work together to get anywhere. We learn to walk and move very slowly and even in regular life, sometimes there is just plain a miscommunication and our hands or legs twitch or do the wrong thing other than they were instructed to do.
      This guy has no proof of what he's been doing as he hasn't tried it on animals and only has used cadavers to just reattatch a head, but nothing has been living.
      We've proven a long time ago that you can with the proper equipment keep a severed head alive. That's not the problem. The problem is attaching it to a spinal cord and making sure everything can communicate and function the way it should.
      There's always some outliers in while they mean well, are just spreading false information, ideas and morally dubious concepts.
      We would have no right to kill our clones. A clone is just a twin person, but it's not you, it's a new human being.
      Now, if we grew a body that was never a living person with a head in a cultivated way, that's another story, and that is definitely some technology we do not have yet and is redundant in the face of artificial limbs and bodies.

    • @IrKeNoVa
      @IrKeNoVa 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Cancer is by definition an uncontrolled celular division. Cancer has it's origins in a modification of DNA, caused by many factors. We know that some genes, for example the Breast cancer 1 (BRCA1) gene, are implied in the control of normal cellular division. Cancer can happen in any animal tissue, as long as it has living cells.
      Neurons are "unable" to reproduce, and they can regenerate themselves (at a slow pace). Every cell has the same DNA, and we as humans can alter that genome at will. I've done it, in a much smaller scale, but I've done it. Now, if we induce cancer onto a neuron, it will start to replicate itself.
      A newly generated cell will have the same altered DNA as the original cell. We can stop a cell's metabolism (One of the steps of cloning is to stop cellular metabolism, and since Dolly and many other cloned animals have lived relatively normal lifes, we can say is a standard process) at a really early stage of it's vital cycle, we can splice the altered DNA, we can replace it with the normal genomic secuence and there it is, a fresh new neuron.
      And all this can be done in a matter of days. We just need to scale things up. These new neurons can be delivered where needed. It just takes 1 cell to start the process. And btw, I'm studying my major in Biology, and I have a pretty decent score in Physiology, Anatomy, Cellular and Molecular biology, and Calculus (both of them), but I don't see where math is implied in this.

    What a farce. It worries me that this guy has been given such a forum to spout this nonsense. He was in Glasgow yesterday for the Glasgow Neuro Conference and refused to answer questions from consultants. He makes a fair point about spinal cord injury, but regardless of the contrast in trauma, there has been no clear success in promoting complete cellular regrowth or functional re-connection. In addition, he does not seem to refer to the immunological complications at all. Current theories suggest that cells are able to bypass the meninges between the PNS and the CNS (i.e schwann cell migration into the CNS following spinal cord injuries), as well as recent physical evidence of transport portals through which cells can migrate. In this case, there could be very serious consequences in terms of organ rejection, which is even further complication by the fact that newly generated neurons will possess both endogenous and foreign biomarkers. What a mess.

    I remember here in the UK about 8-9 years ago a guy had an arm transplant after losing his original arm.... After a couple of weeks, it had to be removed... The body and arm rejected each other, imagine if the head and body rejected each other as well???
    This guy is intelligent and educated I give him that, but he's borderline insane, what quality of life would the person who has their head transplanted realistically have?
    This guy the other day stated he still wants to do this and then unfreeze brains to be transplanted into donor bodies, he really wants to become a real life Frankenstein....
    Can you imagine waking up every morning, being essentially a living zombie.... you would be alive in the body of a dead person, you'd think of yourself as you, but would look in the mirror and see someone completely different.
    Of course that body donor, could instead donate their internal organs and help a number of people who need organs instead of just one person. A heart for a woman or the lungs for a man etc....
    Apart from the psychological and physiology effects on the person, would that person even have mobility and be able to move at all?
    People even today have broken their necks and even with multiple medical operations, still have limited to no ability to move and feel any part of their body.... Yet this guy believes he can do what other doctors can't do and do the impossible... cut off and damage all the nerves, tendons, bone and tissue of a person and then connect them up perfectly to a new body and that person has a 100% quality of movement and feeling?
    I'm sorry but I don't buy it, all I can see happening is a person waking up from this procedure, either with incredibly restrictive movement or being unable to move or control their new body at all...
    What if psychologically the brain and the new body become incapable to each other? It's a bit like trying to run a piece of software on a system that isn't compatible... e.g trying to run Windows 7 software on Windows 98??
    Has this guy medically been shown or proven to actually operate on a current person with spinal paralyzes and restore their bodies movement and sense of feeling??? Because cutting a person's a head off their body is no different, because your breaking and damaging all the nerves tissues etc that allows that head to move that body.
    Also with medical enhancements like stem cell research, and machines, this makes the idea what he wants to do, barbaric and obsolete, and simply a doctor who wants to make a name for himself....
    Essentially he could be done for manslaughter if he successfully transferred a head to a body and that person survived it, but the body started to reject the head... resulting in death...

  • @AmandaIsSinging
    @AmandaIsSinging 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I think it will work, but not without serious implications. Also, the psychological damage for the patient and donor's family will be tremendous. If he has any movement at all after this surgery (assuming he survives) I don't think he will be able to function much better than he can now (Valery). Also, if he has a genetic disease causing the muscle deterioration, how do you prevent that in another body?

    • @daly5297

      Jennifer Cerny he has neuromuscular atrophy. The gene responsible for the synthesis of normal motor neurons is mutated . Therefore his motor neurons are dysfunctional. Now we as healthy people we have functioning motor neurons . Now what's so special about neurons or the nervous system in general ? That it doesn't undergo cell division! Meaning whether you're born with healthy or abnormal neurons , you're not gonna be able to change that. So if his body changes the neurons present in that body won't change and neither the ones he already has .because they're already synthesized. It's just a matter if connecting the head to a body.

    Brain undergoes hypotrophy with age. So even if a person got more than one transplant he will not be immortal.

    i think that the transplant will partially work, because im sceptic of movement of "new" body...
    and if it works, this operation will solve many many questions to the known world...
