The Italian doctor, Sergio Canavero, can claim head transplant. It is similar to the stories of science fiction. However Canavero'm not joking. Description The plan will he lay in the conference of the American
Academy of Neorological and Ortopaedic Surgeon in Maryland in June.
From inquisitr.com, Friday, March 6, 2015, a doctor from Turin Advanced Neuromodulation Group Italy is hoping to improve the lives of people with cancer or paralysis by transplanting the head. He believed that the operation would take place with success in the next two years.
"I think, at this time we are at the point that all the technical aspects of this operation can be done," said Canavero.
"If people do not want it, I will not do it. But if people do not want this, in the United States or Europe, it does not mean it will not be done in other places. I tried to do this the right way, but before going to the moon, you want to convince others to follow you, "he added.
Canavero claim has sparked debate among scientists. According to assistant clinical professor of neurosurgery at Weill Cornell Medical College, Dr. Ezriel Kornel, this procedure is actually a body transplant, not a head transplant. And while this concept, Kornel said, "technically within the realm of possibility," is not known for sure how healthy a patient after the transplant process.
According Kornel, before transplantation is attempted, researchers need to indicate whether the spinal cord can grow together in humans. Another challenge is how to make a head transplant vocal cords to work after surgery, ensuring the trachea and esophagus to work properly, and how to connect the neural control of breathing.
"This is not something that will never be used in a general condition. It should be used on someone who has some heart -gagal multisystem failure, liver failure, failing kidneys, and not all organ transplant, transplant the body, "said Kornel.
However, Kornel said, the idea of moving the head from the body of a person to another person's body is definitely interesting. "But that does not happen in the near future," said Kornel.
