First Successful Human Head Transplant 2017 | Dr Sergio Canavero (a.k.a Frankenstein)

Italian neurosurgeon, Dr Sergio Canavero will carry out first human head transplant surgery on Russian donor Valery Spiridonov in Early 2018 (instead of late 2017). He suffers from Werdnig-Hoffman, also known as spinal muscular atrophy.... Read on for more.......When & Where will it Happen ?The operation was originally scheduled for December 2017, some where in ITALY. But due to local pressure, the recipient Valery Spiridonov has backed off. So now it will be carried out in CHINA and donor will be a Chinese man who is Brain Dead. Government of China has given full support for the procedureWho will Do It ?The whole transplant procedure will be carried out under direct supervision & authority of Italian Nuerosurgeon Dr. Sergio Canavero. He will be teaming with Dr. Xiaoping Ren, a neurosurgeon from China’s Harbin Medical University. Ren is no stranger to head transplants as he has performed the procedure on 1000 different mice How will it be Done ?Dr Canavero has named the procedure HEAVEN, which is an acronym for head anastomosis venture. Anastomosis involves the surgical connecting of two parts.The cost of the 36-hour operation, assisted by a medical team of doctors & experts ( 150 people), which could only be performed in one of the world’s most advanced operating theaters, has been estimated to cost US$ 21 million.And he insists all of the necessary techniques to transplant a head onto a donor body already exist.Both donor and patient would have their head severed from their spinal cord at the same time, using an ultra-sharp blade called GEMINI-TOME to give a clean cut.The patient's head would then be placed onto the donor's body and attached using what Dr Canavero calls his 'magic ingredient' - a glue-like substance called polyethylene glycol (invented by William Sikkema) - to fuse the two ends of the spinal cord together.The muscles and blood supply would be stitched up, before the patient is put into a coma for four weeks to stop them from moving while the head and body heal together.When they wake the patient should be able to move, feel their face and even speak with the same voice. Powerful immunosuppressant drugs should stop the new body from being rejected.Critics say Dr Canavero has simplified the difficulties involved in reattaching a spinal cord and said his plans are ‘pure fantasy’. But if the operation is successful, the pioneering procedure could give new hope to thousands of paralyzed and disabled people.We have always wondered "is brain transplant possible" . A group of scientists are planning to perform a World’s First Human Head Transplant at the end of 2017. But is their plan scientifically feasible? . Italian neurosurgeon, Dr Sergio Canavero will carry out most controversial surgery ever done, if reports are to be believed it will happen in Dec 2017. Survey monkey will be Valery Spiridonov of Russia. This will be first ever head transplant ever done in human history. This is NOT a hoax, this will be the biggest event of this century and if successful, will change the fate of medical science forever. We would love to see your replies in Comment section below.
