The world's first human head transplant has been carried out on a corpse in China, according to Italian professor Sergio Canavero. During an 18-hour operation, experts demonstrated that it is possible to successfully reconnect the spine, nerves and blood vessels of a severed head. A similar operation on a live human will take place 'imminently', the controversial professor claims. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-5092769/World-s-human-head-transplant-carried-out.html Cc: lalasticlala |

PREPARATION FOR THE PROCEDURE In May, scientists carried out a head transplant on a rat in a practise run for controversial human experiment. Researchers used three rats for each operation: a smaller rat, to be the donor, and two larger rats, acting as the recipient and the blood supply. To maintain blood flow to the donor brain, they connected the blood vessels from that rat to veins of the third rat using a silicon tube, which was then passed through a peristaltic pump. Then, once the head had been transplanted onto the second rat's body, the researchers used vascular grafts to connect the donor's thoracic aorta and superior vena cava to the carotid artery and extracorporeal veins of the recipient.

Professor Canavero, director of the Turin Advanced Neuromodulation Group, made the announcement at a press conference in Vienna this morning. The procedure was carried out by a team led by Dr Xiaoping Ren, who last year grafted a head onto the body of a monkey. A full report of the Harbin Medical University team's procedure and a timeframe for the live transplant are expected within the next few days. Speaking at the press conference, Professor Canavero said: 'For too long nature has dictated her rules to us. 'We're born, we grow, we age and we die. For millions of years humans has evolved and 110 billion humans have died in the process. 'That's genocide on a mass scale. 'We have entered an age where we will take our destiny back in our hands. 'It will change everything. It will change you at every level. 'The first human head transplant, in the human mode, has been realised. 'The surgery lasted 18 hours. The paper will be released in a few days.' 'Everyone said it was impossible, but the surgery was successful.' Professor Canavero added that the team's next step is to perform a full head swap between brain dead organ donors. And that is the final step for the formal head transplant for a medical condition which is imminent,' he said 'It will be for a medical, neurological condition, not for life-extension.' Asked whether the eventual plans for live procedures would go worldwide after initial tests in China, Professor Canavero said: 'Given the amount of mean criticism we recieved I don't think we should go international. 'For instance, if you still stick to the Frankenstein schtick, which doesn't make sense, then no.
