World's first human head transplant

[Defiant1]

I also question the veracity of this story, as it being the first head transplant.

I'm reminded of a story my father told me about a little boy who when born only had a head but no body.
His mother would put him on the window sill each day so he could watch the neighborhood boys and girls playing in the park across the street. Every night the little boy would pray that someday he would have a body.

One day the mother received a call from a world renowned surgeon who told her about a boy her son's age who's skull had been crushed in an accident and that he believed he could put her son's head on the body which they were keeping alive.

Well after long hours of surgery and months of rehabilitation, the operation was a success and the parents were able to bring the little boy home from the hospital.

When they drove into the driveway the little boy saw the kids playing in the park, He jumped out of the car and ran towards the park only to be struck and killed by a large truck coming down the street.

My father said to me:










this is why you quit when you are a head.

Talk to one of your local Microbiologists. Bad times are coming. We've only been using anti-biotics for a little over 100 years and they are quickly becoming useless as the organisms they killed are evolving and mutating. Some anti-biotics don't work at all, and there are some strains of bacteria that are immune to all but one or two of the last line of defense we have. And that wall WILL be breeched, and there aren't new ones to replace them yet. It has only taken 100 years of evolution for these organisms to adapt. Normally it takes millions of years.

People have lived with this idea that our technology is all powerful and will forever be so, it isn't and it won't. And the clock is ticking.

I just picked up a hazmat suit from Home Depot. Do you think it will be enough?

Yes, they work well on the ignorant. You should be fine. Be sure not to wear gloves though your hands need to be free to swat mosquitoes.

I got the contractor filters and already had motorcycle gloves.

Get some extra tin foil.

They should do that with Stephen Hawking.

If he succeeds in transferring the brain intact but none of the nerves reconnect, that brain will be in complete isolation from the world, possibly for decades. I'd rather be dead.

no it wouldnt they wouldnt keep it alive

Interesting ethical question: do you terminate a living person that may or may not want to be terminated?

It's not interesting, it's the platform that progressives launch from.
Nazis agreed..yes, you do.
Commies said..absolutely.
Spartans..you bet.
Romans...yup.
Muslims...100%

And they all justified it by saying that some people aren't really PEOPLE in the sense that they have the rights that WE have. Nazis started out with the idea that you breed to a type...perfect babies, perfect breeders, kill the lame, halt, insane, malformed. They moved on to also killing Jews, Gypsies, Catholics, Jehovah's Witnesses, Blacks...

Commies maintain that there are too many people, so for the betterment of the many they kill many. The many usually happen to be living in areas that the leaders want control of.

Spartans killed everybody including their own children, they maintained that if you were weak, you weren't entirely human.

Romans killed slaves, Christians and barbarians for fun, and thought themselves quite civilized and superior to the ones they killed.
Muslims believe it's okay to kill anybody who isn't a Muslim. Though they also feels it's okay to kill muslims.

Pretty much every murderous group the world has ever known sprang from the concept that there are people who don't deserve life because they aren't quite up to whatever standard is the current one. It's the life's blood of the progressives, this concept.

I appreciate how you turn an ethical question into a political diatribe to support your position. Whatever that position is???? That Nazis and Commies are both progressives?

It's got to be a matter of semantics or whose head they really used.

Bubba Clinton had already purchased a ticket to China before someone told him that it wasn't just a new way of getting some.

Hello, I provided examples of ideologies who thought it was ethical to kill people who don't want to die. That was the *ethical* consideration you put up there.

See, that's what it looks like in real life. I responded appropriately to your dumbass question. Perhaps you shouldn't ask questions if you don't want answers?

Typical progressive, I might add. You think it's cerebral and civilized to consider when it might be *appropriate* to kill murder people, then have a fit when someone points out that it has actually been put into action, and here are the people who did it. You retards hate history because history shows us that you're sick fucks.

Sounds like something you would have found in the defunct Weekly World News.

I call BS.
Let us know when they can even repair a few spinal nerves to let people walk again, let alone the entire cord.

That's where the story lost me too.

Why do I envision the head of Hillary some day being surgically placed on the body of a 6 year old child?

We may never be able to kill it.

Had you understood the ethical question you'd realize none of your responses were appropriate. I was talking about a conscious person who you can not communicate with, essentially a brain with no connection to the world. The ultimate in solitary confinement. A person that may or may not want to die but you have no way of knowing.

Creepy! But good for him if it works.

Who will he be? The soul clearly stays with the head, right?

These people are not the first ones to do this!

I see though that if they stored someone like they would Frankenstein and placed a (TMJ) splint in his or her mouth and kept changing it for larger ones, they could open up a cavity big enough to place another head inside.
