First Ever Live Human Brain Transplant ‘Imminent’ - Italian Surgeon

Description

Italian neurosurgeon Sergio Canavero said a full live human brain transplant could take place very soon during an interview from Vienna on Friday after claiming that Chinese surgeons led by Doctor XIaoping Ren successfully reconnected the muscles, nerves, and spinal column of a decapitated cadaver. Canavero made headlines two years ago when he announced that he wanted to transplant the head of Valery Spiridonov, a Russian tech scientist with Werdnig-Hoffman disease, onto a donor body.
