Yup, thats why i'd give it a 50/50 chance...

But for the sake sa tao nga ni volunteer.. I certainty hope that the odds are not against him.

dba sa ako previous comment niana ko dmd kay unsaon nila pag connect sa nerves. muscle nuon, yes ma reconnect, evidenced by putlon ang Pe*is (ifilter sa istorya) sa isa ka lake, den mataod pa balik. But a nerve is a different animal.

You see people who get into accidents and damaged their backs and paralyzed their legs and/or arms? If the technology for this head transplant procedure is already developed, surely they could heal those paralyzed people suffering from spinal damage right?

Mao na ako basehan sa ako opinion boss. Unsa imu reasoning sa opinion nmu nga 50/50?

Sakto pd ka ana.. Delicate man jd labi na mag involve na sa spinal cord and nerves within that area lisod. Pero the reason why i'd give it a 50/50 kay to make it public and naa jd surgeon willing and confident mo perform ani, given pd sa technology and adv medicine.. It might be possible. Then again this is a first time ever to be performed in a human so anything could happen. Basically ang anatomy sa animal ug tao dli ra jd mag lagyu labi na sa apes nga naka perform na pd sila similar ani nga procedure. Gani lang ang ato ani is ang success after sa operation.. Diha ra jd ni mo matter.

if this will be a success then I would be looking forward for Robocop, Transcendence, atbp...

[yhokz101]

Protestahan na pd ni sa simbahan jd for sure.

Head transplant was done on the 1970's and was successful. The patient monkey was transplanted to another was able to live for sometime. The procedure was replicated and was proven to be feasible, for at least animal tests.

The probability of success of the operation is little. More so with the post-op care and treatment. The risk of rejection is far greater than the actual probability of success from the actual operation.

Ethical, moral dilemmas, cultural and social issues also arise.

@bleb, Not exactly luoy. He volunteered. His disease was also terminal. He is helping science and medicine.
