yeah but guys,its impossible to connect nerve threads once they are broken if your live head was on another body,you would be paralysed from the neck down,unless they have secretly solved that

if they could connect say spinal\cord nerve tissue from head on new body,they could do it to a head on original body with broken spinal cord,i say you could transplant the head but you would be paralysed from neck down

yeah ok lol,but they dont reconnect nerve threads of paralysed people in hospitals,im sure they would if they could

Maybe this procedure has uses...What if someone, after a car accident etc. becomes brain dead? Then one could take that body and transplant it to a head with a body that is falling apart or has been damaged beyond repair. Instead of letting two lives go one could, at least, save one life.

that procedure its a utopy
even if they can connect the spine...

the head wont survive outside the body...
just 2 minutes and its dead

wrong, they'd just transfuse the blood supply from the body, onto the transplant head before they move it. that way it will still get oxygen..

and the rest?
p0pkorn88 (November 11, 2008 at 10:47 pm)
you mean the rest of the body that's getting the head removed? I guess it would die, they dont really need it.. then they'd just connect the arteries and all that nonsense to the new body

No,there is the posiblity of doing it but its illegal.Cellular memmory referes to other transplants that are succesfully performed everyday as a normal thing,like heart transplant,liver transplant,kidney transplant and such.I was saying that If some people relive their average-organ donners lives throught dreams stabilizing a brain and make it work perfecly in a foreing body its imposible.There are devided opinions on the subject in both cientific and medical comunity.
