Leader RedBaird Posted April 11, 2015 Leader Share Posted April 11, 2015 that is a little extreme...why not just put your brain in a new body That is actually more complicated that just connecting blood-, bone -, cartilage-, and lymph-systems along with the spinal nerves: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head_transplant The brain has many, many more and much smaller connections than the head does. He would eventually have to re-learn how to move this new body and interpret the sense inputs. That is, if the head is not rejected by the body. His disease sounds like one that would make many people desperate enough to try this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanaraud Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Thats crazy... Mostly the immune systems rejecting "replacemeant" on such a large scale makes me doupt. Also when just swapping out the harddrive, there could be problems with persons self image, last "Robocop" illustrated it dramatically.

AcidParadox Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 I wonder what would happen if you transplant the head transplant to a woman's body? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gibson66 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Personally I'd rather have my head put on a psychopathic robot, but that's just personal preference. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
