A neuroscience and biomedical engineering startup has demonstrated the concept of transplanting a head from one human body to another. According to the authors, the system will give hope to patients who suffer from incurable diseases.
According to the concept, the transplant is carried out by a robot with artificial intelligence to speed up the process, eliminate human errors, prevent the degradation of brain cells and ensure full compatibility. The device precisely separates the head and immediately transplants it onto another body.
The donor is a person who has a young healthy body and is brain dead.
Head transplants could provide people with severe illnesses the opportunity to have a fully functional body while retaining their memories and cognitive abilities.
Scientists are now exploring the possibility of precisely connecting the nervous system and the spinal cord.
