The procedure — which Canavero has admitted is just a first step towards his ultimate aim of creating immortality — will see a man's head removed and placed on a donor's body.

Would be somewhat amusing if the body just carried on doing its own thing despite any protestations from the newly-incorporated bonce.

The doctor needs $15 million to carry out the surgery, he says. While that's a lot, he compared the money to that paid to footballers.
"Do you love football? I hate it," he told Russian newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda. "Nonetheless, you have slackers who meaninglessly stroll around the pitch and are paid $20-30 million a year.
"I need $15 million. It's the price for happiness and health for a lot of people. But sponsors prefer spending money on healthy boneheads who can't kick a ball."

The part that really made me LOL is the word "installed" in what dbloc posted.
"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."

reminds me of this:
Lawyer: Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse?
Witness: No.
Lawyer: Did you check for blood pressure?
Witness: No.
Lawyer: Did you check for breathing?
Witness: No.
Lawyer: So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy?
Witness: No.
Lawyer: How can you be so sure, Doctor?
Witness: Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar.
Lawyer: But could the patient have still been alive never the less?
Witness: Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law somewhere.

why not just fund experimental surgeries on kickstarter? early bird funders get their own head transplanted! small funders get their own souvenir biohazardous waste!
