Johannesburg: World’s first head transplantation
has done on a 36 year old man. Paul Horner who
was diagnosed with bone cancer about 5 years
ago was on the risk of death when he signed for
the extreme deadly operation. It took 19 hours to
complete the tedious process by the surgeons
and to let the man cancer free. Dr. Tom Downey
said “We can give someone a brand new body
that is just as good or better than that of earlier.
And now the success of this operation leads to
possibilities for it. Surgeons at Mexexe
Johannesburg academic hospital done this in
Feb but waited until they could have to prove it
success and to state it publically.

The operation was led by Professor Myron
Danus on Oct 10th of 2015. And they said that
they are completely pleased in his full recovery
with better health condition which was their
ultimate goal. And were fortunate to find a donor
body. A 21 year old man who has been fully brain

perfectly healthy but the brain doesn’t works
properly and there is no chance for a recovery.
They made approval from the boy’s parents for
the body to be transplant to. Its recorded as
World’s first Success full head transplantation.
