Brisbot Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 ...wat? I never expected to get this kind of news in my lifetime.. O.o. Much less in two years. I have a friend who passed away a few years ago due to a failed heart transplant, but a head transplant is another dimension of problems...I'm having trouble figuring out what would have to happen. Like would the donar have to be dead or what?... just what in general.

Hugh Mughnus Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 so when Paris Hilton dies in a drugged out car crash (providing it's not mangled) I can transfer my head onto her body and play with myself all day long? Will there be body auctions where fit bodies are auctioned to be people? =/ Like even if I was disabled I probably wouldn't want my head re-attached to a 600lb body..

Brisbot Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 I have a feeling the Futurama head thing will be involved. One gets the body, the other one becomes a head in a jar. The remaining body is donated to science.

MassfreeKid Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 If the donor body is dead, and if the head of the receiver has been separated from its original body, then both are dead?

melancholera Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Yeah, seems like both "participants" would have to be alive at the time of donation/reception. lol Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/86856-first-human-head-transplant-could-happen-in-two-years/#findComment-2296970 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you were joking, but this brings up an interesting question... What would happen if you were to take the brain of someone who lived all their lives as a male, then switched it onto a female body? Would the different biochemistry now effect the mind differently in a tangible way? Would the mind adapt and become more like the norms for what we consider feminine?... Kinda crazy to sit and speculate on, same with the reversed scenario.

Kinda crazy to sit and speculate on, same with the reversed scenario. That was on the back of my mind, for sure. Isn't the uh.. "wiring" for sexual organs and all of the inherent reactions in the brain extremely complex? I really cannot see in any way this "head transplant" actually being successful. There a million million different elements to consider..

The comic 'Demon' by Jason Shiga speculates on a lot of the same thoughts, how much is mental and how much is physical in an athlete, skilled tradesperson etc. tldr I need one of these Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide Tatdylf's signature Hide all signatures Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/86856-first-human-head-transplant-could-happen-in-two-years/#findComment-2297040 Share on other sites More sharing options...
