The World First Head Transplant! How Viable A Project Is It? by cegxie(m): 2:36pm On Jun 11, 2015 |
man who has volunteered to undergo the world’s first head transplant operation has denied he is ‘crazy’, despite a leading surgeon suggesting that he could suffer a fate ‘worse than death’. Valery Spiridonov, a Russian computer programmer, will fly to New York this week to meet neurosurgeon Sergio Canavero for the first time. Mr Spiridonov suffers from a muscle wasting condition called Werdnig-Hoffman disease, and has spent the majority of his life in a wheelchair. But he has now denied that the operation is an elaborate hoax, and instead insists that Canavero is entirely serious about pushing forward with the pioneering surgery. Speaking to the MailOnline, he said: ‘I am not rushing to go under the surgeon’s knife, I am not shouting – come and save me here and now. ‘Yes, I do have a disease which often leads to death, but my first role in this project is not that of a patient. ‘First of all, I am a scientist, I am an engineer, and I am keen to persuade people – medical professionals, that such an operation is necessary. ‘I am not going crazy here and rushing to cut off my head, believe me’. However, a leading surgeon has warned that the operation could cause the 30-year-old computer programmer to suffer levels of unparalleled insanity. Dr Hunt Batjer, president elect of the American Association for Neurological Surgeons said: ‘I would not wish this on anyone. ‘I would not allow anyone to do it to me as there are a lot of things worse than death’. My question is this... Do you think its going to be a successful head transplant or not, and medically what do you see right or wrong here.
