What kind of body will you choose when this operation becomes routine.
None, because im not disabled and my body is fine

Interesting thought. Would a male mind have to make new neural pathways to control different mechanisms of a female body?

Keep on rolling.
new meaning on the rich eating the poor.
but I doubt you could move a man's body onto a woman's for now.
the body needs to line up with the nervous system where it will be attached. They are going to wait for someone with a similar body type to the patient.
>>74215859
how is a head transplant even possible?
>>74216494
I'm afraid it will take 9 years to perfect it.

So this might seem like a dumb question, but are they gonna use a cadaver for the body or will they chop some poor bastard's head off for this?
Man, of your body is weak and frail cant you transplant your head to a fresh young body and live way longer?

>still can't walk
why bother?
The body's nervous system affects the brain, so I can't see this going over that good at all. His brain might start to be affected by the new body and create a new personality.
That's considering if the body even accepts the head and it doesn't just kill him.

I was thinking maybe someone who is legally braindead on life support? But that would raise even more ethical questions, and the family would probably have real issues with it

Well, thats mighty generous of the donor. I could consider organ donation myself, but someone walking around with my whole body... No thanks.

I don't see how this is even remotely possible. If you sever your spine it is impossible to reconnect it to your own nervous system let alone the foreign nervous system of another body.

THIS
You don't transplant a head, your head just gets put onto a new body. It's a fucking body transplant.
It has been done with monkeys before. I imagine it will be successful but the person will die pretty quickly
>>74219754

>>74219812
Good, cats are assholes, and I'll have an excuse.
Still get to keep my dick though.
>>74219900
Might as well transplant your head onto your dick and leave it at that, I guess
>>74219081
Fucking kek. Underrated

Don't hold your breath anon. Throw enough money that way and who knows what can be achieved?
>>74219900
You'll be exterminated when the robot wars some. The price for killing a human will be a thousand years frozen in carbonite.
>>74217174
Nah my head is kind of girly. Even then I was implying I'd wait for it to be brain only being put into an artificial body.
No thanks, I don't want to just stick my head on a different body. Now if I could implant my brain into a sexy leotard-wearing 10/10 special agent robot, I might do it.
>>74219986
Still have my dick though.

So if this is possible, why can't we fix paralyzed people? They have to connect nerves in the spinal cord for a transplant to be a success so why can't they fix or reattach nerves in a paralyzed person?
I wonder if Carson could do a head transplant
>>74215859
I would clone myself and kill my clone over and over so I could always be 22.
>>74221316
Doesn't work like that. Using your cells (which have already aged) to culture a new body is pointless since the accumulated DNA damage will still be in every cell of your "new" body.
Wasn't this part of some fake arg people on /v/ thought was happening for MGSV?
>>74221679
Stem cells, I'm assuming by the time this shit is cheap and routine we will have cloning fairly cheap as well.
>>74221679
>im 12 and what are Induced Pluripotent Stem cells
>>74221772
yes.
>>74220876
What evidence do you have that it was done before?
Legit curious.
>>74219754
Rub some dirt on it, pussy!
>>74222276
It was done on a monkey in 1970
He lived for eight days.
>>74221918
Hm I didn't remember them being able to undo DNA damage. I knew they can be reverted to a pre-differentiated state, and maybe re-elongate telomeres, but I did not know they could rebuild lost non-telomere regions.

I'd imagine they should be able to(one day) look at your DNA and immediate relatives to see where permanent change has taken place. Some sort of 10^umpteenth puzzle piece.

How the fuck can you walk if you do this surgery? I thought once youve severe your spine, youre pretty much fucked for the rest of your life? I mean if what this man claims is possible with current tech, that would mean that they found a successful treatment for people with paralysis.

You're right. They're even less complicated.
