Italian neuroscientist declared readiness
Italian neuroscientist announced its readiness to transplant a human head for $ 15 million
Scientists believe that a person's head can be transplanted. Moreover, the first operation of such transplants could take place within 2 years.
In Italy, Sergio Kanavero doctor said he could transplant the head of the person in the other body. According TCH.ua referring to The Daily Telegraph, a neurosurgeon from Turin has developed a method that allows you to successfully connect the brain with the spinal.
"I want to note that the technology for such operations were only now" - said Kanavero.

The neurosurgeon also said that developed his method based on experiments carried out in 1970, when the head of one monkey transplanted into the body of another. Then cut off the head of the animal was cooled to 12 degrees Celsius and quickly connected to the body. Once the head has been connected to the circulatory system, the heart began to beat again.
After that, the doctors participating in the experiment, launched an operation on the connection of the nerves. According Kanavero for successful operation on the section of the nerve tissue to be "clean." A very sharp surgical instruments, according to him, there is only now.

However, sew head to a new body of an Italian taken a lot of money. Only the operation itself will cost $ 15 million.
Sergio in his work suggests that it is possible to make a very precise cut through the spine and connect the nerve tissue of the patient and the donor. Next, you need to use plastic or polyethylene glycol (the latter helped to restore the spinal cord several dogs). Then you need to bring together the most nerve tissue and fix them in such a position that the body alone "healed" the place of rupture, added "News».
"The most difficult from a technical point of view in the transplantation of the head to connect the spinal cord donor and recipient. I believe that only now appeared a technology that allows you to make such "- says Kanavero article.
If the scientists manage to carry out tests improved techniques in humans, its use will help paralyzed (if not too damaged spinal cord, enough for surgery) and patients with muscular dystrophy (actually easier to replace the entire body than to recover every single muscle).
