*World’s First Head Transplant A Success after Nineteen Hour Operation
A 36-year-old man has undergone the world’s first successful head transplant. The ground-breaking operation took a team of surgeons 19 hours to complete and has allowed the patient to be cancer-free.

Paul Horner, who was diagnosed with bone cancer five years ago, was on the verge of death when he was approved for the controversial and possibly deadly operation.

Doctor Tom Downey, who was part of the South African team who carried out the operation, told CNN he is thrilled about the results. “It’s a massive breakthrough. We’ve proved that it can be done – we can give someone a brand new body that is just as good, or better, than their previous one.

The success of this operation leads to infinite possibilities.”

Surgeons at Charlotte Maxexe Johannesburg Academic Hospital in SA did the operation in February but had to wait until they could confirm it was successful before they made any public statement.

Downey spoke to reporters on the complexity behind the first ever head transplant. “This procedure is another excellent example of how medical research, technical know-how and patient-centered care can be combined in the quest to relieve human suffering.”

The operation was led by Professor Myron Danus and took place on February 10, 2015.

“Our goal is for Horner to be fully functional in two years and so far we are very pleased by his rapid recovery,” said prof. Danus. “Before the operation, Horner’s body was riddled with cancer and he had less than a month to live. We were fortunate enough to find a donor body; a 21-year-old man who has been brain dead from a serious car accident that happened in 2012. The boys body worked just fine, but his brain was not functioning whatsoever, and there was absolutely no chance of recovery.

He added: “We received approval from the young man’s parents to use their sons body to do the operation. They were extremely happy their son could save a life even in the vegetated state that he was in.”

The man, Horner, has made 85% recovery; walking, talking, doing things a healthy individual does…

It think it's a HOAX. Only the spinal cord bones connected to the head will sell them out. There are things that truly needs the approval of the creator to pass through. My take though.

this news is fake,
nothing like that happened.
The website that published the hoax is known for such.
The closest we are to a human head transplant is 2017.
I remember watching something like this on Aljazeera about 2 years ago. I recognized the doctor face. The plan to transplant head is real!

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!


No be that one sef be my problem , what I'd like to know is will his deek be functional ? and if so , he happens to fvck his wife , will the children thereof be regarded as his own ( putting into consideration that the children won't carry any genetic material from him ).

for donor bodies instead of looking for sick people, look for condemned criminals, instead of taking them to the firing squad let there strong bodies be used to serve a higher purpose like preserving the life of a relevant person.

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 . . ." grin

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
