I can't wait to see this procedure go down. If this head transplant is successful we will be witnessing history in the making. And the man getting operated on will have a better quality of life.
yeah this is actually VERY interesting, even if a bit taboo-ey. i know it works, at least for a while, and i want to see what the head has to say about it afterwards.
Imagine how jealous bruce/kaitlyn jenner will be when he/she/it realizes that had he/she/it of just waited a little bit longer, he/she/it could of gotten "the real thing" -an actual woman's body; rather than just the lame-ass "gender reassignment" tranformation! 😉
@@musaddiqueh6248 I agree, after tapeing you must squeeze neck as much harder as you can to avoid head from falling to the ground and there is no space for mistakes here ,you should be carefull on that front.
Until the day comes where science has figured out how to fix damaged spines ie. resulting from spinal cord injuries [where the spine remains attached to its body mind you], I’ll remain completely skeptical that a complete spinal sever and reattachment can be done without the patient remaining totally paralyzed (or more likely dead...just saying). How about we continue working on how to fix the broken ones we already have, then there would be no need for head transplants!
i don't know, i think it'd be easier to reattach if the spinal cord has been severed under surveillance rather than if it's been ripped apart in an accident.. i'm still very sceptical though
Geeta said that body is perishable. But the dwellers in our body, I.e. our souls, are indestructible, unperishable and impenetrable. We may see our neurological self getting a better body which is certainly a great option rather than mindlessly bring the existing outdated system to work. Because after a stage we just cannot run our body, we will have to find new bodies to run our consciousness. And that day shall come, it's not far.
There’s a huge difference between a clean surgical cut and breakage via accident. Hell there’s a huge difference if you cut yourself with a knife vs scraping yourself on the sidewalk, the knife cut will heal much cleaner and quicker.
It's called a head transplant because the immune system is in the body, not the head. So if there is a rejection it's the body that is rejecting the head. Hence why it's named weirdly.
Honestly, I think it's just a matter of semantic convenience rather than any real medical reason. Even though we know better scientifically, our languages still treat the head as an appendage and the body as the centre of being.
people donate organs when body complications make them unable to live, but the organs themselves still work. anyone with diseases in the brain could be willing.
medical science has a very grim past. i believe there could be a million lives put in danger/killed already to make what we have now medical procedures successfully.
True, but even more lives are saved because of this knowledge. Even tiniest and unremarkable discoveries may lead to saving millions of lives in a long shot.
www.hopkinsmedicine.org/news/media/releases/study_suggests_medical_errors_now_third_leading_cause_of_death_in_the_us we arent that good even now. 250,000 people a year in the US alone die to medical mistakes.
That's almost always human error, misdiagnosis, slip ups and filing. Also the amount that would die due to no treatment is definitely higher. Give most of the precise and mundane job to a computer or machine built for that one purpose and you would see the deaths due to medical mistakes drop drastically. Humans are not built to be good at only one thing. We're good at many things, but never perfect.
yeah in US. only that large percentage die due to medical mistakes... American doctors tend to be lazy and careless when dealing with patients. it is different for more professional doctors.
can't argue with that ... but still is this the path we wanna go ? I mean sure ... it can help people on the other hand, those who can afford it, mostlikly ain't the people that should be able to afford it ... We will end up with brain transplants sooner or later, so the rich people can enslave the poor even further beyond their normal life time.... but hey ... what a new way of having a black market for .... bodys I mean the rhich in the old Romean empire could also choose from a varity of fitting persons for their collection ... let's just bring back that time for brain tansplants YAY
James Insalaco no thats a stupid idea throwing away one of the most perfect opportunities science can get just because it hasnt worked on any other animal is just that stupid we have the perfect situation and human testing will give much better results then any other animal so this is a really good idea
I'm so excited about this. Even if the procedure isn't successful, it will definitely NOT be a failure. Most of humanities greatest developments in technology and health came from the knowledge we learned from unsuccessful experimental trials. Even if the patient dies, that patient will be the reason so many more will undergo a similar procedure and live. Its groundbreaking and will present vital information regardless of the outcome.
I feel empathetic for the person that is so desperate to be the head to be transplanted. At least you get to fade out in a medically induced sleep knowing you will probably never wake up. The person that is willing to do this is obviously doomed to an inevitable end and the person that is brain dead is in much the same situation. Neither person has much to lose here. Also this is probably going to be someone younger and capable of handling the stress and potential recovery. There's really no reason to make this political. If the doctors are willing to try it, more power to them. Think about this as if it is you facing eminent death, early in life, and you might have a chance to live longer.
Upcycle Electronics I agree with you. The odds are VERY slim. Must be a hard position to be in for both the doctor and patient. Great respect. I hope the best for the outcome. Let's hope luck is with the doctor and patient that day.
He is already in almost vegetative state. He got nothing to lose, from the interview I saw. Regardless the operation is success or not, this will be remembered & used as study/ example.
One day, Humanity will, for sure, be capable of living in other planets or making head transplants, or even extending exponentially someones life. But that ain't gonna happen any time soon lol.
I watched this story years ago. The Dr that's leading the surgery has been researching and figuring out the obstacles of the procedure for years and years. I truly think he will succeed. Although the spinal cord connection sounds plausible, I wouldn't think the technology was there yet.
honestly i hate it when people try to bring up moral and ethical bullshit into these sorts of things. if somebody consents and a suitable donor is available what is the issue? somebodys life COULD POTENTIALLY be drastically improved, but the point is hes giving the ultimate sacrifice in order to further science, we can never know unless we try can we?
GheyForGames this comment needs to be on top. Too often people over react about morality. The volunteer is doing it in the hope that his life might improve, he also knows that he might die. He's made a decision. I don't understand why people unrelated to this get totally worked up over morality and ethics
GheyForGames the only thing that worries me is that if he survives and if everything works perfectly he's still living in someone else's body. People that have had limbs or genitals transplanted have a hard time accepting the transplant as a part of them, psychologically I mean. Who knows how he would react?
This will be an amazing experiment - even if it fails. If it works - we gain a major insight into the connection between the body and the brain in addition to getting a step closer to having a synthetically grown body replacement for spinal cord injuries, lost limbs and various other conditions potentially including death! Or, if it turns out growing a body is too hard or expensive, we can just wire the head into a robotic body able to keep the head alive until a replacement body can be safely grown. There is a first time for everything. This body transplant was bound to happen sooner or later. Even a failure here will push us towards the first success. This will be a great leap in medical science one way or the other.
doggie015 lol death is enevetable, even if this did somehow work which it won't ( realistically) the brain tissues will still age and decompose, resulting in death.
Just a head up: The guy who volunteered for the surgery had a change of mind , or rather he won't be having a change of body any soon. He said it's all thanks to his family & wife. Edit: yea, i like puns.
I laughed when they said their way to get around the whole cut spinal cord business was to rub some polyethylene glycol on it. Thats the shit they put inside paintballs. It's mainly used as a laxative. It's not some super duper secret science glue that'll make this work where other stuff hasn't. It hasn't been proven to regenerate cut nerves. There has been some research into it but NOTHING pointing towards the ability to do that to that insane extent. Nothing to justify trying this shit on a human If you think you figured it out try the technique on a monkey. It has never actually worked on any animal before for more than a few hours and the main road block is the cut nerves. This is unethical This is horrible This is murder If someone is that far gone that theyre willing to do this then let them commit assisted suicide in peace. This shit though, if it does "work" he'll spend a few hours in one of the most terrifying situations possible before finally dying painfully. There is a reason the medical community is very very against this. Put your technique forth Show it works on animals Let others copy the technique on animals proving it works Ease your way into human trials Thats the proper process This guy is murdering a dude and the BBC is like "isnt this cool. Aint science great". The absolute state of modern psuedo science quackery being pushed in popular culture I hope this doctor is never allowed to return from China, otherwise face prosecution or loss of his license.
Z E P H Y R nerves function just like ever other body part when it comes to healing. And as far as I know (I'm I expert) our most vital organs and systems have a higher regenerative ability, like our lungs, hearts and possible in assuming our nerves. And there are cases of nerves be nicked our severed in surgery and those nerves healing over time. So the answer to your question is yes??
Thats the hardest part of this, it hasnt been done before, ever. So technically speaking it SHOULD be possible but we dont know because we havnt beem able to get it to work
Kon Haijacked health.howstuffworks.com/wellness/smoking-cessation/lungs-regenerate.htm our lungs do actually have some regenerative power, they will never return to full power but they do heal beyond what another organ (such as our skin)
Kon Haijacked well yes but that's if the tissue is torn, crushed, burned or punctured. A fine,clean cut with a blade such as they one they intend to use is the scarring is unlikely to happen
One question I always had about the spinal cord. Are all spinal cord's alignment the same kinda like an Ethernet cable? Or could it be twisted, unsorted or some other sort of random order like some fiber cable where would you would have to find what what connects to what inside of the spinal cord?
Lol, the success of this experiment would be more of a signifier that some higher power willed it than failure. Failure is pretty much the only possible outcome of this, the man is mad if he thinks it will be as simple as glueing the spine back together.
It's not the same unlike internet cables it's all messy and irregular but it can adapt itself and therefore rearrange it's connections to communicate with the new organ.
+Mr_Glibb the doc tried suing Hideo Kojima/Konami (a Video Game Developer) because a character just happened looked like him and he actually thinks they digitally captured his likeness from a TED talk. He's a quack.
RyanRyzzo it'd be Bill the Builder if you think about it, Sergio -> sergian -> surgeon, bill -> billder -> builder . . . . . I know Bob the builder is a television program I'm English
you guys are talking about connecting the spinal cord in just minutes -.- thats impossible considering that you have to connect the tissue and make sure the cells accept each other without having the central unit that gives orders for those cells working and thats all without mentioning that the body would be nearly frozen which leads to a major organ failure because you are freezing those organs that cant handle cold for seconds without even getting them some energy. to make myself clear. human body with a full blood circulation cant handle cold and could suffer severe organ failures by being put into the freezer or getting the body temperature to go down. let alone the process of connecting the vines, arteries and other nerves that go throw the neck as well as making the new blood that will be delivering the oxygen to the brain accept the brain the tissue and not have the immune system attacking the body nor the brain. even if they manage to overcome all that they would have to keep the patient in a long period of rehabilitation and put down the immune system for a long time while the brain and body accept each other. which makes it still 99.99% fail for this operation to come true since having a room customized for that purpose is nearly impossible since you will need a room with only O2 in it and without any other gasses and not have anyone getting near the body cause the immune system will be completely shut down. as well as getting the immune system back and running would be nearly impossible and for exactly that reason we are having problems curing the HIV which works on destroying the immune system. id rather see them trying to find a cure for cancer or HIV over them trying to transplant a head
Who on earth would make that mistake of thinking Head Transplant means cutting the patient's head off and putting a new head on? I mean what was that clarification is for?
Destiny kevin It's simple what people think about kidney transplants or heart transplant a kidney or heart of the patient is replaced by a newer healthier one so obviously when people hear the word head transplant person think about replacing the head which in medical terms is the other way around it's a body replacement
Check some details before posting, BBC. The procedure is delayed to 2018. And they will keep patient in coma for 3-6 weeks, not 3 days. Operation discription isn’t exact
Here's my proof it's "imminently" about to happen, from today: www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/commentary/ct-perspec-head-transplant-ethics-1215-story.html
This whole situation sounds like a failure waiting to happen, particularly with the disection and reattatchment of the spinal cord. Even if they make mathematically PERFECT incisions on to both bodies spines, there are complex nervous cells everywhere and we just don't have enough knowledge on them to say we can just heal them together like we can other parts of the body. The way I see it the patient is gonna die, and will probably be in a lot of pain if he doesn't right away.
Eiahfou If it fails won’t he be under powerful drugs making it seem painless? I’m not saying it’s okay if he dies, because it’s not, but if he does won’t it be peaceful? I don’t even think a disembodied head can feel anything.
Matthew John Well yeah a disembodied head could feel pain if they somehoe brought him to consciousness. Keep in mind the tip of the spine and the emtkre brain is in their. That and also even the most powerful anethstetics can't block out the receptors on the spinal cord. Thats direct nerve contact
Dr_Kachu san eh, the bloke's dying and wants to kill himself anyway, if there's a chance he gets his head transplanted and it works yippee, if not he's dead anyway give it a year
I am thinking if the brain does not die he may end up trapped in his mind. Depending on where the spinal cord is cut may not be able to move face. talking will be a issue too as will not be able to control breathing.
In a 2015 TEDx talk, Sergio Canavero made a bold and tantalizing claim: by 2017, he swore, he would conduct the first human head transplant. And if you’ve been paying attention to trending headlines today, you might think he’s followed through on that promise.He has not.Canavero has not completed a successful human head transplant, and it is very unlikely that he will ever do so.
I'd rather put my brain and nervecord in an android body and skip the fleshy hassle. Will probably have to wait for atleast 30 years for something like that to be available.
14104 x1 Yeah, but 30 years ago we had computers the size of a library that had a "massive" storage of 10 mb.. Now we have USB's that can store 128 gb in something the size of your thumb.
This will be the first attempt. It's free I think cuz it's 50% 50% what if his guy pay 10M and die? Nope! I think if this procedure becomes successful, next ones will be that cost. The billionaire will buy new bodies ones they got older. 😀😀
James D YES same it makes me feel like we’re actually getting somewhere and we are breaking limits. I know this isn’t related but I hate people who say this is taboo it really isn’t we’re just taking steps to ascend the human race as a whole there is nothing wrong or shameful about wanting to “evolve” our knowledge that will make us even more superior than we already are
Jomar Benschop haha!! That’s pretty funny but then again it might be something that could happen if we can do this there are gonna be more doctors who’ll learn from this so of course there is gonna be some illegal shit going down and they’ll start kidnapping kids off the street!!
What I'm curious to see is how the body that's been conditioned to a certain range of neurochemicals responds to a brain that pumps out wildly different patterns and levels of neurochemicals. I think it'll be a nightmare, but ... I'll be anxious to see.
success or not, i would like to see this happen just to know the answer whether our body can be stitch up that way and it would work just like normal albeit some complications... or which i think is the more probable thing that would happen is that the body dies and the head dies~ either way we won't know the answer till somebody did it~ good job to the surgeon for daring to take the 1st step ignoring all those ethical bs and actually just focus on doing it~
The ethics??the guy wants a better life then what he has at the moment. Who are people to judge him he’s the one who’s suffering. I say go for it let’s see if it can be done I think it will work.
Kyle Hudsons lol imagine for like 10-20 years when this potentially be possible,some crazy BILLIONER of 100 years transplant his head to young body lol there goes infinity life..
+zuigdoos A successful head transplant was ferried out in South Africa in September 2017. The patient is reported to recovering well, functioning as hoped.
Joshua Martinez Well he says 'surgeons hope that the nerve fibers will fuse together'. How will that happen actually.? Neurons dont really divide. That is them reason most neurological disorders are progressive. And fusion of all cranial and spinal nerves would be merely impossible.
“ (Q:) One of the central problems that a head transplant poses is the challenge to reconnect the severed spinal cord in a way so that controlling the body and extremities through the nerves becomes possible again. Experts consider this problem impossible to solve. (A:) This problem has now been solved. We published an article in the September 2016 issue of the scientific journal Surgical Neurology International in which we outline how we succeeded in fully restoring the functionality and motor activity of entirely severed spinal cords in mice using a fluid called Texas-PEG that was developed by a team at Rice University led by Prof. James Tour. In other words, the mice were able to run again, as the nerve cords were restored. I do not wish to preempt the publication, but I can say this: many controlled studies have been conducted in South Korea and China on a range of very different animals, and the results are unambiguous: the spinal cord - and with it the ability to move - can be entirely restored.” This is one of many questions in an interview with Ooom where Canavero states that this has been done on animals with promising results. www.ooom.com/digital/sergio-canavero-a-revolution-in-medicine/2/ (Website and entire interview linked above.)
I wish they used this innovation to help heal spinal cord injuries, since the cases of this surgery being needed are so rare, and its so much more risky.
What if when everything is said and done, the procedure is successful, but the spinal cord's nerves are all connected so that there are different inputs and outputs than the brain is accustomed to? To say it another way: What if, once the procedure is complete, the surviving head finds that what he used to do to move his arms actually clenches his abdomen, and what used to wiggle his toes now sways his hips, etc. etc.? Assuming that he could survive with a diaphragm that is now controlled by what he essentially used to do to squeeze his butt-cheeks together, I wonder if he'd ever be able to maneuver his body again, and if he could I wonder what it would feel like...
They probably would do the same therapy as a stroke victim so they would have relearn every thing which may take years to happen but in the end it would probably be worth it.
So they're just going to mash together the spines and add glue and hope it works? Nerves are a lot more like point-to-point connections and less like network entry points - I'll be amazed if the brain doesn't die in a matter of minutes from signal mismatch
While that's true, my point was that this may be asking too much of the process. Remapping a peripheral part of the nervous system is an operation on a different scale than, in the worst case, remapping complete control of the body, while dealing with foreign signalling. If anything goes wrong, best case is that he ends up quadriplegic.
Interesting! A few questions: Does the polyethylene glycol act like the solder that connects electrical cables, then? Basically acting as a middleman to bridge the gap between the two ends so that electrical impulses can travel through once again? Or is it that it simply holds the ends close enough together that the impulses can arc from one end to another? Does it work kind of like a scab, too, in that the body can break it down to remove it as cells convert to the appropriate types needed to replace it (I suppose similar to internal stitches that can be left in and dissolve over time)?
As scary as it sounds, I'm all for this. Obviously I would like to see as many non human successes as possible beforehand, but if we can pull this off it will change medical history and maybe we can even figure out how to extend our lives this way.
UnrealsChannel The volunteer has a disorder that makes their complete body paralyzed. He volunteered in hopes that it will make his quality of life better
Remiah Alexis , ureals channel was referring to the owner of the body , not the privileged head who receives the persons "donor" body . You've either been incredibly easily duped by the double speak reversed terms commonly used to refer to whole body transplants, or you are being intentionally obfuscating. Where do you think the supply of healthy bodies will come from? Who will be beheaded so someone else can have their body . There isn't a convenient stockpile of healthy bodies with naturally freshly braindead heads. That can be arranged by corrupt procurers obviously , just as the Chinese government has set up an entire system of transplant hospitals supplied almost entirely by live prisoner " donors ". A Chinese doctor has even published a paper on a device intended to cause official brain death with the minimum damage to the rest of the body . That already a thing, and proudly published.
Not a chance. He might wake up but will never be able to move his body. The brain will have to re-wire all it's connections to be able to do that, it's impossible since he is an adult. Could work on a child but not an adult with a fully settled brain.
No one ever did manage it to transplant an animal head(With proof and without the animal dying moments later.). So... How exactly are they able to brag that they will succeed?
About 15 years ago I saw a programme where a surgeon had managed to transplant a monkey's head on to a new body. Although the head was still alive afterwards it had no control over the body. The programme was all about future human head transplants. On the programme they were interviewing a man who is quadriplegic and he said he would be open to a head transplant in the future, but AFAIK there has been no such transplant on any kind of animal where the animal has had full control over the new body. If you are paralyzed from the neck down you may feel you have nothing to lose. I wonder how they would keep the man's brain oxidized whilst the blood flow has been halted?
Anyone who is giving predictions is wrong. Regardless of the prediction. It's actually a joke that people sitting on the internet watching this video think they're smarter than the doctors and scientists who have thought about and been planning this for years.
This is literally and ethically risky... First is that there is no "successful" animal head transplants (medical term of successful is simply being able to be alive for the next year after a delicate surgery, maybe a month on animals)... So this is extremely risky... Second... Well... Still risky.
...And for my next trick, I will turn 1 dead person into 2!
I just need a volunteer from the crowd
*everyone backs away*
lol
One is close to death and the other is brain dead(so technically dead )
So no.
LMAO
I can't wait to see this procedure go down. If this head transplant is successful we will be witnessing history in the making. And the man getting operated on will have a better quality of life.
Joseph Galvez i just want to have new eyes cos I cannot see
I bet he will live through the operation, but he will not live longer than a week

It's called a head transplant because the immune system is in the body, not the head. So if there is a rejection it's the body that is rejecting the head. Hence why it's named weirdly.
Yeah - dude, but I'm in the head - so I certainly hope I'm getting the body transplant, not the other guy.
Honestly, I think it's just a matter of semantic convenience rather than any real medical reason. Even though we know better scientifically, our languages still treat the head as an appendage and the body as the centre of being.

Turns out that the Italian surgeon just fires up this video as a "how to tutorial" one the first operation
I wonder who woke up and decided to donate his body..
Someone who died 3 days ago.
The "head" is a person that is terminally ill, and the "Body" is a man that's been brain dead for a while now.
Sadly, Ryan brown donated his body to Gary Markings, Gary only survived for 2 hours and Ryan is still alive but in coma.
Someone in prison?
people donate organs when body complications make them unable to live, but the organs themselves still work. anyone with diseases in the brain could be willing.

Even if the patient dies, that patient will be the reason so many more will undergo a similar procedure and live. Its groundbreaking and will present vital information regardless of the outcome.
Jessica Would you volunteer? xD
Aditya Pola - They probably get volunteers that are willing to possibly die.
Aditya Pola maybe in the future when we're moving on to animalxhuman hybrids... I wanna be a centaur 😂
Best idea ever! Merge me with a dolphin I wanna be a merman!!!
*humanity's
This is just in time for Halloween season.
I don't think they went a head with this
kaym3ss this deserves more likes
kaym3ss I don't know,sounds like they got the heads up to me
😂😂
Lol!
BA DUM TSS!!!
I feel empathetic for the person that is so desperate to be the head to be transplanted. At least you get to fade out in a medically induced sleep knowing you will probably never wake up. The person that is willing to do this is obviously doomed to an inevitable end and the person that is brain dead is in much the same situation. Neither person has much to lose here. Also this is probably going to be someone younger and capable of handling the stress and potential recovery. There's really no reason to make this political. If the doctors are willing to try it, more power to them. Think about this as if it is you facing eminent death, early in life, and you might have a chance to live longer.
Upcycle Electronics
I agree with you. The odds are VERY slim. Must be a hard position to be in for both the doctor and patient. Great respect. I hope the best for the outcome. Let's hope luck is with the doctor and patient that day.
He is already in almost vegetative state. He got nothing to lose, from the interview I saw. Regardless the operation is success or not, this will be remembered & used as study/ example.
Upcycle Electronics But another question does rise, if all the blood is taken out and refilled into the brain, will the anesthesia still work?
Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon yup if I remember it right the poor sid dont got long to live with his current body either.
Adik Rahman that was what i wondered
How to transplant a human head:
You don't. You don't transplant a human head.
Hope for the Best
You never know. Many years ago people said that planes were impossible. Look at what we have now.
Mind uploading always been a huge topic in SF so, who knows whetherer they will move the body or just the mind in the future.
Ah now, don't be so pessimistic Lol
One day, Humanity will, for sure, be capable of living in other planets or making head transplants, or even extending exponentially someones life.
But that ain't gonna happen any time soon lol.
"Hey, I like your head, can I have it?" "Yes, but I want your well trained body in return"
I’m happy this is happening, even if it fails we will have made progress. We need this stuff.
Let's see what happens.
Rohit Eligeti tables will flip.
Pretty easy to guess: best case scenario is the head will survive in a locked-in state, with no control or feedback from the body.
So will this be streamed live? If not, it should.
It definitely should.
Imagine getting to view post op your own head transplant. In particular your own suspended severed head drained of blood
Imagine the twitch chat
Canyon F when you said that I instantly went to “twitch chat does head transplant” haha like “twitch chat plays Pokémon” oh god haha.
36 hours streaming live with
150 surgeons. Imagine that
I watched this story years ago. The Dr that's leading the surgery has been researching and figuring out the obstacles of the procedure for years and years. I truly think he will succeed. Although the spinal cord connection sounds plausible, I wouldn't think the technology was there yet.
Adds a whole new meaning to the song "I ain't got no body."
Good one, James. I like it!
honestly i hate it when people try to bring up moral and ethical bullshit into these sorts of things. if somebody consents and a suitable donor is available what is the issue? somebodys life COULD POTENTIALLY be drastically improved, but the point is hes giving the ultimate sacrifice in order to further science, we can never know unless we try can we?
GheyForGames this comment needs to be on top.
Too often people over react about morality. The volunteer is doing it in the hope that his life might improve, he also knows that he might die. He's made a decision. I don't understand why people unrelated to this get totally worked up over morality and ethics
actually he's not sacrificing anything, he would die with his current body
The head donor is pretty rude and he would die eitherway, so he isnt sacrificing anything lol
Finally someone says this
GheyForGames the only thing that worries me is that if he survives and if everything works perfectly he's still living in someone else's body. People that have had limbs or genitals transplanted have a hard time accepting the transplant as a part of them, psychologically I mean. Who knows how he would react?
This will be an amazing experiment - even if it fails. If it works - we gain a major insight into the connection between the body and the brain in addition to getting a step closer to having a synthetically grown body replacement for spinal cord injuries, lost limbs and various other conditions potentially including death! Or, if it turns out growing a body is too hard or expensive, we can just wire the head into a robotic body able to keep the head alive until a replacement body can be safely grown.
There is a first time for everything. This body transplant was bound to happen sooner or later. Even a failure here will push us towards the first success. This will be a great leap in medical science one way or the other.
Getting closer to being immortal
If it works we will have a black market for spinal cords or complete bodies.
kevin c-i37
We also put a man on the moon. If you asked anyone a 100 years ago they will tell you its impossible.
doggie015 lol death is enevetable, even if this did somehow work which it won't ( realistically) the brain tissues will still age and decompose, resulting in death.
kevin c-i37 are you stupid? Realistically anything is possible
I believe the answer to the question is "very carefully"
imkindahungry04364 thanks dad for the joke
Just a head up: The guy who volunteered for the surgery had a change of mind , or rather he won't be having a change of body any soon.
He said it's all thanks to his family & wife.
Edit: yea, i like puns.

OH NO SIR HIS HEAD WAS LOBBED OFF!!!!
It's fine just glue it back on and pretend it didn't happen.
rockets-don't-make good-toast See? Good as new.
I laughed when they said their way to get around the whole cut spinal cord business was to rub some polyethylene glycol on it. Thats the shit they put inside paintballs. It's mainly used as a laxative. It's not some super duper secret science glue that'll make this work where other stuff hasn't.
It hasn't been proven to regenerate cut nerves. There has been some research into it but NOTHING pointing towards the ability to do that to that insane extent. Nothing to justify trying this shit on a human
If you think you figured it out try the technique on a monkey. It has never actually worked on any animal before for more than a few hours and the main road block is the cut nerves.
This is unethical
This is horrible
This is murder
If someone is that far gone that theyre willing to do this then let them commit assisted suicide in peace. This shit though, if it does "work" he'll spend a few hours in one of the most terrifying situations possible before finally dying painfully.
There is a reason the medical community is very very against this.
Put your technique forth
Show it works on animals
Let others copy the technique on animals proving it works
Ease your way into human trials
Thats the proper process
This guy is murdering a dude and the BBC is like "isnt this cool. Aint science great". The absolute state of modern psuedo science quackery being pushed in popular culture
I hope this doctor is never allowed to return from China, otherwise face prosecution or loss of his license.
Stopreadingmyusername i totally agree with you .
I don't get it, do the nerves just like grow together or something???
Z E P H Y R nerves function just like ever other body part when it comes to healing. And as far as I know (I'm I expert) our most vital organs and systems have a higher regenerative ability, like our lungs, hearts and possible in assuming our nerves. And there are cases of nerves be nicked our severed in surgery and those nerves healing over time. So the answer to your question is yes??
Thats the hardest part of this, it hasnt been done before, ever. So technically speaking it SHOULD be possible but we dont know because we havnt beem able to get it to work
Kon Haijacked health.howstuffworks.com/wellness/smoking-cessation/lungs-regenerate.htm our lungs do actually have some regenerative power, they will never return to full power but they do heal beyond what another organ (such as our skin)
Kon Haijacked well yes but that's if the tissue is torn, crushed, burned or punctured. A fine,clean cut with a blade such as they one they intend to use is the scarring is unlikely to happen
Simone Moses our liver and skin are the most regenerative part of the body. Heart cells cannot replace themselves, our brain does not regenerate also.
Mars colonization, head transplant, etc. Now that's a time to be alive
Between the two Mars colonization seems more real. Why? Because we have Eeeeelon Musk!
@@edgararcega3046 I agree the head transplant seems more likely.
Taking a shit while watching this feeling really weird thinking about it
One question I always had about the spinal cord. Are all spinal cord's alignment the same kinda like an Ethernet cable? Or could it be twisted, unsorted or some other sort of random order like some fiber cable where would you would have to find what what connects to what inside of the spinal cord?
Lol, the success of this experiment would be more of a signifier that some higher power willed it than failure. Failure is pretty much the only possible outcome of this, the man is mad if he thinks it will be as simple as glueing the spine back together.
It's not the same unlike internet cables it's all messy and irregular but it can adapt itself and therefore rearrange it's connections to communicate with the new organ.
+Mr_Glibb the doc tried suing Hideo Kojima/Konami (a Video Game Developer) because a character just happened looked like him and he actually thinks they digitally captured his likeness from a TED talk. He's a quack.
Will Powers lmao he's already been put to bed numerous times. You'll just explain around it and make even more excuses.
A lot of rehabilitation will be necessary for the person to gain good control of their new body (or at least I'd assume).
Sergio the surgeon? Do I look like some kind of mug to you?
Sounds better than Bob the Builder.

I know Bob the builder is a television program I'm English
Well, he's Italian, so you should call "Sergio il chirurgo" (where chirurgo is the translation for surgeon) but really is more correct Dottor Canavero
Benjamino lmaooooooooo. Lost it
you guys are talking about connecting the spinal cord in just minutes -.- thats impossible considering that you have to connect the tissue and make sure the cells accept each other without having the central unit that gives orders for those cells working and thats all without mentioning that the body would be nearly frozen which leads to a major organ failure because you are freezing those organs that cant handle cold for seconds without even getting them some energy. to make myself clear. human body with a full blood circulation cant handle cold and could suffer severe organ failures by being put into the freezer or getting the body temperature to go down. let alone the process of connecting the vines, arteries and other nerves that go throw the neck as well as making the new blood that will be delivering the oxygen to the brain accept the brain the tissue and not have the immune system attacking the body nor the brain. even if they manage to overcome all that they would have to keep the patient in a long period of rehabilitation and put down the immune system for a long time while the brain and body accept each other. which makes it still 99.99% fail for this operation to come true since having a room customized for that purpose is nearly impossible since you will need a room with only O2 in it and without any other gasses and not have anyone getting near the body cause the immune system will be completely shut down. as well as getting the immune system back and running would be nearly impossible and for exactly that reason we are having problems curing the HIV which works on destroying the immune system. id rather see them trying to find a cure for cancer or HIV over them trying to transplant a head
Wow.. simply wow..
Having No Argument: Big Text
From my understanding he’s got a 1% chance of success, which means statistically it is possible- least likely but possible.
Hopefully they don't put it on backwards.
HyperBlue STI lmao
Hermies from Futurama
Who on earth would make that mistake of thinking Head Transplant means cutting the patient's head off and putting a new head on? I mean what was that clarification is for?
Nop the people who voted for it are :)
Or at the very least we can call the misinformed if you are offended :)
Destiny kevin It's simple what people think about kidney transplants or heart transplant a kidney or heart of the patient is replaced by a newer healthier one so obviously when people hear the word head transplant person think about replacing the head which in medical terms is the other way around it's a body replacement
Check some details before posting, BBC. The procedure is delayed to 2018. And they will keep patient in coma for 3-6 weeks, not 3 days. Operation discription isn’t exact
Last I heard it was not delayed. Where is the proof of what you say?
Here's my proof it's "imminently" about to happen, from today:
www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/commentary/ct-perspec-head-transplant-ethics-1215-story.html
instead of asking for proof why dont you use google like a normal person
If you claim something, you can't expect others to find proof of it, you should provide your own - like a normal person.
Theoretically, if you could figure out what each if those nerve endings go and attach an adapter you could create a cyborg
Who’s body are they using?
DudeManBroMan *head
Someone who is sentenced to the capital punishment.
A brain dead humans body
Thats a smart idea, if they are going to get capital punishment might as well use them for something right?
Cruel
Don't get A HEAD of yourself
Yeah those caps really helped there... lol
stop
no
This whole situation sounds like a failure waiting to happen, particularly with the disection and reattatchment of the spinal cord. Even if they make mathematically PERFECT incisions on to both bodies spines, there are complex nervous cells everywhere and we just don't have enough knowledge on them to say we can just heal them together like we can other parts of the body.
The way I see it the patient is gonna die, and will probably be in a lot of pain if he doesn't right away.
Eiahfou If it fails won’t he be under powerful drugs making it seem painless? I’m not saying it’s okay if he dies, because it’s not, but if he does won’t it be peaceful? I don’t even think a disembodied head can feel anything.
Matthew John
Well yeah a disembodied head could feel pain if they somehoe brought him to consciousness. Keep in mind the tip of the spine and the emtkre brain is in their.
That and also even the most powerful anethstetics can't block out the receptors on the spinal cord. Thats direct nerve contact
The patient will be knocked out 🤦♂️
There is no claim for success, but there is nothing to lose either.Owner of the head is about to die and owner of the body is already dead.
It does.The body donor had a brain dead with no harm to the body and the owner of the head is only terminally ill on body.
So what happned? Was he able to do it? I was looking for it on google and only found old articles. Someone please tell me!!!
Maybe Mr.Canavero should at least successfully transplant a dog head first?
Dr_Kachu san eh, the bloke's dying and wants to kill himself anyway, if there's a chance he gets his head transplanted and it works yippee, if not he's dead anyway give it a year
I am thinking if the brain does not die he may end up trapped in his mind. Depending on where the spinal cord is cut may not be able to move face.
talking will be a issue too as will not be able to control breathing.
I heard Dr. Sergio successfully tested it on rats
dogs are worth more
No, they haven't, darkdoctor2017, they have simply attached animal heads blood supply to other animals with their own head.
*Body transplant*
if you can transplant head, you could transplant body of course.
Yess we can soon can be transplanted into robot bodies
i hope so too
Nah just heads in a jar.
My shrek picture is better
Light Bandit It is!
Light Bandit nah fam mine is
In a 2015 TEDx talk, Sergio Canavero made a bold and tantalizing claim: by 2017, he swore, he would conduct the first human head transplant. And if you’ve been paying attention to trending headlines today, you might think he’s followed through on that promise.He has not.Canavero has not completed a successful human head transplant, and it is very unlikely that he will ever do so.
This would have been useful for Ned Stark.
I'd rather put my brain and nervecord in an android body and skip the fleshy hassle. Will probably have to wait for atleast 30 years for something like that to be available.
Probably sooner than we all think.
Much longer than 30 years tbh
30 years?? Didn't you watch back to the future? Back then they thought we'd have hover boards by now, but we only have fake ones sadly.
14104 x1 Yeah, but 30 years ago we had computers the size of a library that had a "massive" storage of 10 mb.. Now we have USB's that can store 128 gb in something the size of your thumb.
They have actually made a bionic arm that has a feeling of "touch" so.. ya know it's possible

Well this video was made in 2017 and its 2018 and still no head transplant
JT storms009 and now it’s 2019
Eventually, 2022
I'm from 1920
Soooo who's paying that medical bill tho 😂
VanillaFanatics his life
It’s estimated 10 million dollars
Imong mama
Tax payers
This will be the first attempt. It's free I think cuz it's 50% 50% what if his guy pay 10M and die? Nope! I think if this procedure becomes successful, next ones will be that cost. The billionaire will buy new bodies ones they got older. 😀😀
I would imagine the patient will be signing a disclaimer?
Lets hope for a success.
It will be a huge success for humanity if it is successful. I enjoy seeing medical technology improve such as synthetic organs.
James D YES same it makes me feel like we’re actually getting somewhere and we are breaking limits. I know this isn’t related but I hate people who say this is taboo it really isn’t we’re just taking steps to ascend the human race as a whole there is nothing wrong or shameful about wanting to “evolve” our knowledge that will make us even more superior than we already are
When's it happening?
If it works I see an apocalyptic future in which the rich takes the bodies of the young...
Jomar Benschop haha!! That’s pretty funny but then again it might be something that could happen if we can do this there are gonna be more doctors who’ll learn from this so of course there is gonna be some illegal shit going down and they’ll start kidnapping kids off the street!!
Well 2018...haven't heard an update and were already in the last quarter..whats good?
What I'm curious to see is how the body that's been conditioned to a certain range of neurochemicals responds to a brain that pumps out wildly different patterns and levels of neurochemicals.
I think it'll be a nightmare, but ... I'll be anxious to see.
success or not, i would like to see this happen just to know the answer whether our body can be stitch up that way and it would work just like normal albeit some complications...
or which i think is the more probable thing that would happen is that the body dies and the head dies~
either way we won't know the answer till somebody did it~ good job to the surgeon for daring to take the 1st step ignoring all those ethical bs and actually just focus on doing it~
Who needs ethics when you've got consent anyways? I'm thinking along the same lines, regarding that death part as well.
The ethics??the guy wants a better life then what he has at the moment. Who are people to judge him he’s the one who’s suffering. I say go for it let’s see if it can be done I think it will work.
Kyle Hudsons you look like my old classmate who was a Muslim guy named Aref
like RF? as in radio frequency
Kyle Hudsons lol imagine for like 10-20 years when this potentially be possible,some crazy BILLIONER of 100 years transplant his head to young body lol there goes infinity life..
I think the surgery will go horribly (death)
Nope, the surgeons arleady transplated head go search for it.
"In November 2017 Canavero said that he and Ren had transplanted a head between two human cadavers" So not yet with an actual living head and body
+zuigdoos A successful head transplant was ferried out in South Africa in September 2017. The patient is reported to recovering well, functioning as hoped.
With too much nerves in the head and neck its kinda scary, the rats who were experimented died shorty after.
to be very honest, this is really scaring me to death
specially thinking about what's about to happen in the Future
I really don't think this will work.
valerie guidry I'm with you on that. Highly doubt this will work.
regardless if it'll work or not, I say to let them try it out.
if they try it enough times then I can say for sure they'll get it done right.
Really? Interesting could you tell me the process? Maybe the research. Perhaps you could tell me where you got your phd from.
valerie guidry so you going for the man dying
Joshua Martinez Well he says 'surgeons hope that the nerve fibers will fuse together'. How will that happen actually.? Neurons dont really divide. That is them reason most neurological disorders are progressive. And fusion of all cranial and spinal nerves would be merely impossible.
How long can you preserve a human head before it dies?
Gokul Gopakumar I've heard that victims of be headings were able to blink and respond for around 8 minutes.
it can be kept for a longer time if its frozen
“ (Q:) One of the central problems that a head transplant poses is the challenge to reconnect the severed spinal cord in a way so that controlling the body and extremities through the nerves becomes possible again. Experts consider this problem impossible to solve.
(A:) This problem has now been solved. We published an article in the September 2016 issue of the scientific journal Surgical Neurology International in which we outline how we succeeded in fully restoring the functionality and motor activity of entirely severed spinal cords in mice using a fluid called Texas-PEG that was developed by a team at Rice University led by Prof. James Tour. In other words, the mice were able to run again, as the nerve cords were restored. I do not wish to preempt the publication, but I can say this: many controlled studies have been conducted in South Korea and China on a range of very different animals, and the results are unambiguous: the spinal cord - and with it the ability to move - can be entirely restored.”
This is one of many questions in an interview with Ooom where Canavero states that this has been done on animals with promising results.
www.ooom.com/digital/sergio-canavero-a-revolution-in-medicine/2/
(Website and entire interview linked above.)
I wish they used this innovation to help heal spinal cord injuries, since the cases of this surgery being needed are so rare, and its so much more risky.
Thanks for the tutorial, I feel ready to start it now
What if when everything is said and done, the procedure is successful, but the spinal cord's nerves are all connected so that there are different inputs and outputs than the brain is accustomed to? To say it another way: What if, once the procedure is complete, the surviving head finds that what he used to do to move his arms actually clenches his abdomen, and what used to wiggle his toes now sways his hips, etc. etc.? Assuming that he could survive with a diaphragm that is now controlled by what he essentially used to do to squeeze his butt-cheeks together, I wonder if he'd ever be able to maneuver his body again, and if he could I wonder what it would feel like...
ahh that problem thats actually a very good point but the person will get used to it if they live long enough
They probably would do the same therapy as a stroke victim so they would have relearn every thing which may take years to happen but in the end it would probably be worth it.
So what’s the update? Did it work?
First head transplant: Kono *DIO* da
Well Its 2018.... how's it goes?
Well tomorrow is the last day of the year and still no update
So they're just going to mash together the spines and add glue and hope it works?
Nerves are a lot more like point-to-point connections and less like network entry points - I'll be amazed if the brain doesn't die in a matter of minutes from signal mismatch
How do you know signal mismatch is fatal?
May be brain can re network itself. like when learning a new motor function
While that's true, my point was that this may be asking too much of the process. Remapping a peripheral part of the nervous system is an operation on a different scale than, in the worst case, remapping complete control of the body, while dealing with foreign signalling.
If anything goes wrong, best case is that he ends up quadriplegic.
Patrik Lindström he is already quadriplegic
I know, but they're hoping he won't be after the surgery.
Welp I guess in the future there will be a shop called BODY SHOP
Interesting! A few questions:
Does the polyethylene glycol act like the solder that connects electrical cables, then? Basically acting as a middleman to bridge the gap between the two ends so that electrical impulses can travel through once again? Or is it that it simply holds the ends close enough together that the impulses can arc from one end to another? Does it work kind of like a scab, too, in that the body can break it down to remove it as cells convert to the appropriate types needed to replace it (I suppose similar to internal stitches that can be left in and dissolve over time)?
Soap opras have been doing it for years hahaha
Pretty exiting stuff, the procedure and the aftermath will be something to behold
The head will be exiting
So Now its 01/06/2018... Did the an operation go well? is the small man still alive?
As scary as it sounds, I'm all for this. Obviously I would like to see as many non human successes as possible beforehand, but if we can pull this off it will change medical history and maybe we can even figure out how to extend our lives this way.
"How do you transplant a human head?"

Adrian Atienza 😂😂😂
Don't get ahead of yourself
These videos are so helpful. All the recipes and car tips and how to transplant a human head.
I really hope the Body's current user is truly 'Brain Dead'
UnrealsChannel The volunteer has a disorder that makes their complete body paralyzed. He volunteered in hopes that it will make his quality of life better
Gilberto Ortiz what ever makes you feel better
Remiah Alexis , ureals channel was referring to the owner of the body , not the privileged head who receives the persons "donor" body . You've either been incredibly easily duped by the double speak reversed terms commonly used to refer to whole body transplants, or you are being intentionally obfuscating. Where do you think the supply of healthy bodies will come from? Who will be beheaded so someone else can have their body . There isn't a convenient stockpile of healthy bodies with naturally freshly braindead heads. That can be arranged by corrupt procurers obviously , just as the Chinese government has set up an entire system of transplant hospitals supplied almost entirely by live prisoner " donors ". A Chinese doctor has even published a paper on a device intended to cause official brain death with the minimum damage to the rest of the body . That already a thing, and proudly published.
Georgina Whitby Did you forget that people willingly donate their bodies to science? Because obviously you failed to remember that.
UnrealsChannel over my dead body ;)
Whenever I think I'm stupid, I just read the comment section. And geez... Some of you need to go back to school...
Does someone know how the procedure went?! or has any type of information about the transplant because I cant find any information anywhere, Thanks.
Jesper Strömbäck the didn't do the procedure lol
This is actually so terrifying!! it could happen to you anyone you love God bless you all!!
i feel bad for that russian guy. he must think he has nothing to lose :(
QRS3C273 he doesn't he is gonna end up dying from the disease he has.
He is going to die so nothing to lose.
Update he backed down.. because he found love..
@@endlessthunder6161 did he? Where's the source
MARK EDCEL LOPEZ he said it on good morning britain
think it’ll work?
Ryan Smith nah
Nope
Not a chance. He might wake up but will never be able to move his body. The brain will have to re-wire all it's connections to be able to do that, it's impossible since he is an adult. Could work on a child but not an adult with a fully settled brain.
Ryan Smith maybe
Mickxal true
No one ever did manage it to transplant an animal head(With proof and without the animal dying moments later.). So... How exactly are they able to brag that they will succeed?
oh well better to stay positive then to think and cling onto the negative stuff thats how technological development gets slowed a lot
About 15 years ago I saw a programme where a surgeon had managed to transplant a monkey's head on to a new body. Although the head was still alive afterwards it had no control over the body. The programme was all about future human head transplants. On the programme they were interviewing a man who is quadriplegic and he said he would be open to a head transplant in the future, but AFAIK there has been no such transplant on any kind of animal where the animal has had full control over the new body. If you are paralyzed from the neck down you may feel you have nothing to lose. I wonder how they would keep the man's brain oxidized whilst the blood flow has been halted?
There is a video here on TH-cam to check the monkey after surgery
yea the decapitated dog was a hoax
I'm pleased somebody addressed the 'head transplant' error.
Anyone who is giving predictions is wrong. Regardless of the prediction. It's actually a joke that people sitting on the internet watching this video think they're smarter than the doctors and scientists who have thought about and been planning this for years.
This is literally and ethically risky...
First is that there is no "successful" animal head transplants (medical term of successful is simply being able to be alive for the next year after a delicate surgery, maybe a month on animals)... So this is extremely risky...
Second... Well... Still risky.
well the collective minds of thousands maybe millions of people of people is going to be smarter and know more then a few dozen doctors
