Breaking News: The 1st Human Head Transplant Carried Out Successful In China by bumi10(m): 7:54am On Nov 18, 2017
The world has recorded yet another powerful milestone in medicine. The world's first human head transplant has been carried out on a corpse in China, according to an Italian Professor Sergio Canavero.

Dr Xiaoping Ren, who grafted a head onto the body of a monkey in 2016, carried out the operation, which took 18 hours. Italian Professor Canavero, who is the director of the Turin Advanced Neuromodulation Group, announced the success in a press conference in Vienna.

Prof. Canavero said:

"The first human transplant on human cadavers has been done. "A full head swap between brain dead organ donors is the next stage and that is the final step for the formal head transplant for a medical condition which is imminent."

It had previously been hoped that 30-year-old Valery Spiridonov would be the first human to undergo the operation but the Russian decided he did not want to experience the surgery. Spiridonov had volunteered because he suffers from Werdnig-Hoffmann disease, which causes severe spinal muscular atrophy, and he was willing to try anything to prolong his life.

There had been an angry backlash to the potential surgery from religious groups, who said it was going against God. Spiridonov was fully prepared for the body to reject his head but it was also possible that fusing his head with another body - including the spinal cord and jugular vein - might result in never-before experienced levels of insanity.

Doctor Canavero said before the operation that he was anticipating it to be a 36-hour procedure that would involve 150 doctors and nurses.

Arthur Caplan, director of medical ethics at New York University's Langone Medical Centre, had previously said that the bodies of head transplant patients "would end up being overwhelmed with different pathways and chemistry than they are used to and they'd go crazy".

In 1970, a head transplant was successfully performed on a monkey. Well, it was sort of successful. The monkey lived, but only for eight days. The body rejected the new head and the monkey was left unable to breathe or move because the spinal cord of the head and body weren't properly connected.

Hopefully, technology has advanced enough in the past 45 years.

Anything is possible. Humans don't know the power they've got. The few who know use it to manipulate others. When they say a human being is a God it really means he is a God.

Unfortunately, the same bodies who say this are afraid of exploration. Afraid of the Astral and consider nonreligious spirituality occultism. As though a church or mosque is not a cult. Under religion it is safe but not outside it.

We are Gods in the literal sense. We can do anything we want. Our pineal glands and pituitary body have been inhibited for so long. Marijuana is demonized while alcohol and fatty foods are advertised.

From Movies to News to Entertainment. Look what we've been talking about the past two weeks! A bleached homosexual without any sign of sense or essence. People who know are afraid of others knowing.

You are Gods. Stop looking up to dimwits and demons for relevance. Your mind is the software that runs your body or hardware. This feat is nothing if only the world was honest enough.

Man is seriously researching immortality. They are gradually making progress. But can they actually get there?
Science is seriously challenging God's omnipotence. I pray our so called advancement in science don't eventually lead to man's destruction.
