This week, 30-year-old Russian man, Valery Spiridonov, announced that he will become the subject of the first human head transplant ever performed, saying he volunteers to have his head removed and installed on another person’s body.

"I would not wish this on anyone," said Dr Hunt Batjer, president elect of the American Association for Neurological Surgeons. "I would not allow anyone to do it to me as there are a lot of things worse than death."
From speaking to several medical experts, Hootan has pin-pointed a problem that even the most perfectly performed head transplant procedure cannot mitigate - we have literally no idea what this will do to Spiridonov’s mind. There’s no telling what the transplant - and all the new connections and foreign chemicals that his head and brain will have to suddenly deal with - will do to Spiridonov’s psyche, but as Hootan puts it rather chillingly, it "could result in a hitherto never experienced level and quality of insanity".

I'm an idiot - for a second I was like, "if he's getting a new head, how can he be him with a different brain and all?"

Yeah maybe the scientists put an ad out:
"LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO GIVE HEAD"
And he thought "Yeah sure, I'd like to suck some dick".
And now he's having his head chopped off and doesn't even know it.
Ah good times.

The real development here is that a head can be kept alive without a body on life support - think of the implications of that...

It seems like being able to fix spinal cord injuries and auto/central nervous system diseases would be more important than trying to splice a head on a body.
I'm surprised there isn't more talk about the 2.0 artificial heart.
- This is directly related to the practice of fixing spinal cord injuries. It's what he does. now he wants to go one step further.monospaced

With his head on a new body, he going to have to think twice before masturbating some other guy's cock.
