This document discusses the possibility of performing the world's first human head transplant. It outlines the history of head transplant experiments on animals from 1908 to 2002. The document then focuses on Italian neurosurgeon Sergio Canavero's plans to perform the first human head transplant in China in December 2017. It describes the intricate surgical procedure and potential risks, such as ensuring the spinal cord is reconnected and the immune system does not reject the new body. Critics argue the brain may not survive without its original body.
3. • Have you ever considered
living in another body?
• Can paralysed people be
able to walk again ?
Now you will discover a
revolutionary science project:
HEAD TRANSPLANT
4. The experiments in this
field
Only animals:
• Dogs (1908)
• Monkeys (1970)
• Mice (2002)
9. About 30 years struggle to achieve this
goal.
He first submited his idea in 2013.
He has some the major obstacles to
surgery.
These include making the spinal cord
with a new head , and ensuring the
body’s immune system does not reject
it .
11. An Italian-Chinese medical team
plans to perform the wold’s first head
transplant in china.
The procedure may take place by
December, 2017.
150 surgeon doctors are required for
this procedure .
The operation expected about $13
milloin.
12. Firstly, because their cells can survive without
oxygen, the recipient’s head and the donor
body are cooled.
Then, tissue around the neck is cut up and
major blood vessels are linked using tiny tubes.
Next, the spinal cords are cleanly saperated,
and then the recipient’s head is moved onto the
donor body.
Lastly, the ends of the spinal cord are combined
using the chemical polyethylene glycol.
13. After this, the person would be put into a
coma for around 4 weeks while they heal.
Dr Canavero believes the person would
wake up with the same voice, move and
feel their face and learn to walk within a
year.
He says several people have already
volunteered.
15. •Valery Spiridonov, told the magazine, Removing
all the sick parts but the head would do a great job
in my case,
•But I refused that the Doctors were not expecting
me to live.
Spiridonov Refused
20. Russian researchers in the late 1940s kept five
people awake for fifteen days using an
experimental gas based stimulant.They were kept
in a sealed environment to carefully monitor their
oxygen intake so the gas didn't kill them, since it
was toxic in high concentrations.This was before
closed circuit cameras so they had only
microphones and five inch thick glass porthole
sized windows into the chamber to monitor them.
The chamber was stocked with books, cots to sleep
on but no bedding, running water and toilet, and
enough dried food to last all five for over a month.
21. After Five Days
•One of them cry
•The Other were Silent
•The Doctors were think that
they would freeze them
22. After Fifteen Days
• When Open the Room
•TheyWanted to be Free
•One of them were dead
•Their Arms were broken
