The world's first human head transplant is all set in December 2017. Can science sustain the operation or is it insane?

On the most updated information when it comes to everything about the human head transplant. When searching for answers on the possibility of the head transplant, it is defined as a surgical operation that would eventually grant an organism to have the body of another.

From previous experiments, human head transplants have been already performed in animals such as monkeys, dogs, as well as rats. For the sake of science and medicine, the surgeons were able to perform the operation successfully. But, unfortunately, all of the animals used for the head transplant experiments died shortly afterward.

In the case of the world's first human head transplant, according to Alphr, it will take place in the United Kingdom but with 50-50 chances. The term is a little misleading for a real body head transplant will gain the head a new body to control, thus it should be a whole body transplant and not just called human head transplant.

Though the planned experiment for the world's first human head transplant seems an insane for most people, doctors and scientists, Italian scientist Dr. Sergio Canavero is very confident on the success of the experiment. Dr. Canavero outlined his planned procedure that would start in cutting the volunteer's head and freeze it, The Star reported.

The donor body of a dead person will also be taken to freeze for up to 12-15 degree Celsius. To continue the process of human head transplant, the two ends of the spinal cord coming from the head and the body will be fused together using a chemical of polyethylene glycol.

Polyethylene glycol is a chemical proven on the growth of the spinal cord nerves in animals. This has not yet been proven on the human if the chemical will also be the same.

However, if this does not work, Dr. Canavero suggests that the human head transplant can use the stem cells or olfactory ensheathing cells for the spinal cord. If the world's first human head transplant became a success, Canavero said that the patient would immediately move, speak with the same voice and feel his skin and face.
