Wont be long before transhumanism is a reality, i'm telling you! Human heads on robotic bodies. After that, maybe a robotic brain? Their goal is most likely everlasting life.

Did you not see the original faces of death when the four people had fresh killed monkey brains after killing their supper first. I guess the Chinese like playing with their dinner!

Just anther asshole scientist who wants to play God. This does no benefit anyone in anyway. It is like a little kid playing with a Meccano set and seeing what they can make and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.It is a crap shoot every time and to use living creatures just 'to see what might work' is horrible.

According to Canavero, researchers led by Xiaoping Ren at Harbin Medical University, China, have carried out a head transplant on a monkey. They connected up the blood supply between the head and the new body, but did not attempt to connect the spinal cord. Canavero says the experiment, which repeats the work of Robert White in the US in 1970, demonstrates that if the head is cooled to -15 °C, a monkey can survive the procedure without suffering brain injury.

“The monkey fully survived the procedure without any neurological injury of whatever kind,” says Canavero, adding that it was kept alive for only 20 hours after the procedure for ethical reasons. New Scientist was, however, unable to obtain further details on this experiment.

“We’ve done a pilot study testing some ideas about how to prevent injury,” says Ren, whose work is sponsored by the Chinese government. He and his team have also performed experiments on human cadavers in preparation for carrying out the surgery, he says.

you likely already know this, buuut.....


....they did similar with with a dog head long ago....russians did. they did an 'isolation head transplant' where they removed a dog's head and kept it alive for some time via machines.



that was done by Dr Vladimir Demikhov in the 40's and 50's. he then successfully attached a dog head to another living dog.





the first time a doctor grafted "one dog's head onto the side of another's neck" was in 1908 by Charles Claude Guthrie. his work on that likely stopped him from getting a Nobel Prize like his colleague Alexis Carrel did.

fucked up shit, i know.

I really hate those dogs pictures. I remember seeing them years ago. Some of the first "gory" photos I saw, and they sickened me. Before then I was blind to the realities of this evil world.

sorry...they werent meant to be insulting or offensive in anyway. they also werent meant to be illustrations of animal abuse but, rather, illustrations of medical experiments that are similar to the OP's article.

i agree, they are fucked up and the first time i saw it, i was filled with horror as well. i just wanted to make it clear, however, that i didnt post those pictures here to be shocking, edgy or offensive. it was done merely to illustrate that these kinds of procedures have been done for years.

Not offensive Kanda, it's in keeping with the story line

I hate that it happened, but hiding the pictures would be more offensive.

my thoughts exactly. thank you!

it's 'documenting reality' not 'censoring reality'
