The Times carried an article recently about the possibilities of performing a head transplant. No, this was not an editorial about the Republican debate. There is an Italian doctor who says that by 2017 he will be able to perform this procedure. He even has a volunteer patient.
This is not a new idea. A number of times since the early 1900s doctors have surgically put two heads on one dog. And rats were bred with no head and then had then sewed on. I do not think they lived very long though.
I am reminded of the movie Reanimator, a cult classic from the 1980s.
Even if this will really work, where do they get the bodies? For the record, if I ever need to have this done, I wouldn't mind maybe having Roger Federer's body. See how he is feeling.
