Science proving religion wrong every day.

I can already see the end times peeps chanting their usuals.

It is a good feat if true my achieved,if heart transplant is possible,head transplant is also feasible.

CHESTER48:
pure lies too.stop saying things you don't know..the human brain cells are the longest living cells and can live and never die upto how many years you live..

I realy cant get you, but think of what will happen if you buy a brand new Intel Dual Core Processor into an old computer whose hardrive only has two days to go!
I know brain cells live longest, but not for eternity and its actually controlling something, we can artificially keep it alive on its own but we are talking about NATURALLY keeping it alive here!

iamord:

For God's sake can't you read. There was an agreement with the family. Why do we keep concentrating on negatives

Doesn't still change d fact that one person had to die for another to live, by the way, why didn't u c d positive in the statement that someone lives?

ChokolateBoss:


Its d head that matters?
Consciousness can be transferred my friend
Very very feasible.

Only a matter of time before u see it everywhere.

Small time. It'll happen in ur lifetime.

Same with going to Mars and colonizing it.

OK, if you say so, but I hope you are not basing it on the movies/films you have watched

So the 19 year old died so that another might live... Can we call him Jesus?


BTW South Africa is the real giant of Africa. Not by size but by brain.

The praticalised it in CYBORG

na their old papa head oo way refuse to die na dem use annoyence cut am offf.. na big lie ooo nigeria dont decive yourself and have cancer off the head and run and meet them thinking dey go cure u ooo if na so just kiss your life bye bye bye.....

mikkypel:


You are getting it wrong here.. How do you know this is this person without the head.. It is the head that gives us a description of a person.. Have you not watched film where they would be searching for a culprit.. Then they see someone who looks just like him or her but from the back. It is when they look at the persons face, they would know they got the wrong person... The head is the identity

Yea, the head is the identity, but in the analogy I gave, after the head of PMB has been put on the body of GEJ, will the GEJ's body grow to the height of PMB?
We are talking of two entities whose individual identities are well known before and what will be people's reaction after have been merged!
I agree, the final product will think, talk and "act" like the head, will it also walk, run and wear cloths like the head?

frisky2good:
When someone dies of old age, is it because the brain becomes too old or because the heart, lungs, kidneys etc become weak?

All of them become old! That is when you talk of memory loss, because some part of the brain are already dying!

lygn19:

dats wat clothes are made for.

If they put GEJ and PMB side by side in an identical cloth and completely wraps their heads, won't you be able to still recognise who is who?

This is a hoax na!

Shocking that it made front page

lygn19:

hv u heard about the separation of Siamese twins?
if they can separate twins joined together by birth, I believe they can.

Not all Siamese twins can be separated successfully. In some cases, one has to go for the other to live.. Moreover, it is a hoax..

lygn19:
humans can really be immortals one day...
imagine if once dangote reaches 90years old and is sbout to die and u transfer his head to the body of a 20years old.... That's like 70 more years added.
Though I hope this head transplant doesnt hv side effects.

Medicaly is possible, but biologicaly, not compactible. U dont pour an old palm wine into a new one, it will sour all.

Na now dwarfs go dey jubilate....they know no-one will use their bodies...

Beremx:
Bekee bu agbara!!
May God help us!

Hw fr?

Please stop this divisive talk. What will you say, if you discover that the list of doctors involved includes, for example, a South African trained Nigerian and a Cuban trained Malawian? Just celebrate the fact that black and white Africans have registered a monumental achievement. This is good news for the world about Africa and the Africans. All Africans should take ownership and embrace this groundbreaking achievement as their own. Walk tall, Africa!
While Italian neurosurgeon, Dr Canavero, was busy traveling and informing the world about his plans to perform the world's first head transplant on a 30 year old Russian volunteer in 2017, a multiracial team of specialists quietly and successfully performed it in 2015, here in South Africa, thereby making it a double - the world's first heart transplant in Cape Town and the world's first head transplant in Johannesburg.

My concern is: where did they get the head? From a dead body?

dis is fvcking sick n highly amazing, but it cud b risky tho, make rich guys no start to dey kidnap young kids so as to stay alive.

dats one hell of a ground breaking achievement. it will forever b in d books of history

Don't you think that with a new heart pumping blood into the brain and with better lungs supplying oxygen to the body the brain might just become rejuvenated? Just wondering not that I'm trying to prove you wrong.

Of course, you make sense! But the problem is that brain is a very delicate tissue; you can restart a failled heart, lung etc, but once brain cells starts dying its really very difficult to stop and restarting a "failled" brain is really hard; that is why brain cells leave for a very long time without dying! And I beleive there is a "brain clock", whether you supply fresh blood/oxygen or not, brain cells will die when they are to die, otherwise mere supply of oxygen and fresh blood would have been able keep people alive for indefinite length of time in hospitals!

sinkhole:
It is the head that realy matters. The brain clock will still register 90yrs and the body will still die when its suppose to die! The material body could be moved but the consciousness in the material body may not be moved.
My own problem is the confussion that will arise; you see the person you know well but he completely has the mind of another person!

Exactly. You need to watch the movie Selfless.

some people are just too stubborn God is watching

Knowledge conferred on us by God.

I found this video here equally interesting. The patient had his heart replaced by pumps and so he has no heartbeat.

Mehn this white people are something else. I can't even imagine someone conceiving such thought not to talk of embarking on such surgical.

Everything procedure/treatment has its demerit.. Just that most times the merits may outweigh the demerits

The brain's activities will still be that of the 36 years old...36 year old brain functioning on a 21 years old body,if the brain clocks 90 the body will be 75,the 90 years old brain will control the body's activities to function exactly like a 90 years old body...The implication of the surgery is just that the cancer has been gotten rid of and not to prolong life,once the brain dies at it set time the body whether that of a fresh 16 years old will die..

I disagree with you, u c, consciousness, mind n thinking goes with the part of the brain is associated with d cerebral cortex. The short coming of these experiment to me is the exceptional mind development with an extention of time, the brain cells will remain active so long the body nerves r sound. Think of a sound car with break failures, the battery in these car is the brain, although th battery sends charges its nt up to the battery to fix the break fluid. To me these is exceptional.

how much are they doing the operation?i need to send msglobalwonder,rokiatu,eleko1 and vickyrotex for one

sinkhole:
If they cut PMB's head and put it on GEJ's body, what do you think will happen? So so confusion, people will see PMB's head but the body will look like that of GEJ and the whole amalgamation will still be saying "I am for nobody . . ."

What do u want 2 achieve an intelligent pmb or a clueless pmb?
