I have head that the technical aspect of head transplant was accomplished in the 1950s in the dog. My question is whether a functional head transplant will be feasible in man in the near future
There are many stories of transplantation of head among same or different species, sex, genotypes. It was a good idea for making some film.
But we have to find out ways against allograft rejection. Only immunosuppressive drugs are not sufficient.
So, as per my idea, there is no scope of successful head transfer in near future.
To over come from the immune rejection , by cloning concept is a alternative for functional head transplant
I agree that due to ethical and immunological reasons (allograft rejection) there is no near future for head transplantation.
Perhaps only in case of genetically identical siblings a head transplantation can be carried out.
Nonsense!
I think that such "great news" would be of no value for real medical scientists.
However, I am rather frustrated of what is happening recently, with all stupid ideas of new genders, new sex, new sex illusions...
The Great Nature established two sexes, male and female!
Everything else is against Nature and must be deleted from the normal human behaviour.
Yes, there is definitely no medical or ethical scope for head transplants at present
