Man to undergo the World's first head transplant (Photo)

Valery Spiridonov, a compter scientist, who is suffering
from a rare genetic muscle wasting disease known as
Werdnig-Hoffman disease has volunteered to undergo the
world's first head transplant..
The Werdnig-Hoffman disease is a rare and fatal genetic
muscle wasting disease that leaves its sufferers seriously
disabled
Basically, Valery's head would be given a new body, and it
has been learnt that, the donor is a man that is currently
brain dead, but healthy...
A brief description of how the procedure would go;
Both donor and patient would have their head severed from
their spinal cord at the same time, using an ultra-sharp
blade to give a clean cut.
The patient's head would then be placed onto the donor's
body and attached using what Canavero calls his 'magic
ingredient' - a glue-like substance called polyethylene glycol
- to fuse the two ends of the spinal cord together.
The muscles and blood supply would be stitched up, before
the patient is put into a coma for four weeks to stop them
from moving while the head and body heal together.
When they wake the patient should be able to move, feel
their face and even speak with the same voice. Powerful
immunosuppressant drugs should stop the new body from
being rejected..... Gaddemit !!!!
The Doctor that would be performing this out-of-this-world
procedure is Controversial Italian Surgeon - Dr Sergio
Canavero.... Canavero claims that all the necessary
techniques already exist to transplant a head onto a donor
body, despite widespread scepticism..
