In 1988 the United States was issued a patent for a device that saves lives separated from the body head
In 1988, the US government has issued a patent for an injection device saves lives surgically separated from the body of the head. According to the patent holder, because of his car and modern medicines capable of removing blood clots from the brain and other waste, cut off a man's head can remain alive indefinitely.
The procedure requires that the head surgically separated from the body at the top of the neck, set vertically and attached to the injection device. The unit consists mainly of plastic tubes connecting functional vessels of head and neck with circulation mechanisms that support brain alive. The injection process involves the artificial oxygenation of blood, fluids and other elements that supply the brain. The use of this instrument allows to think, eyes to see, ears to hear, eyelids closed during sleep, as well as to some other brain functions.
The rights to this device - US Patent 4666425 - has Chet Fleming of St. Louis, a molecular biologist, an engineer and a lawyer, a leading patent cases. The patent was given on the basis of mere drawings. This option is called "patent for the future", as it does not involve the existing working models. Mr. Fleming plans to build a car and make it available to experimenters. He wrote in the British Medical Journal: «technology to support life in the severed head has an important potential benefits for scientific research, and to prolong life in a conscious state, suggests the possibility of communication, and probably with less pain, which today are experiencing a lot of people . The most difficult question is whether the advantages outweigh its disadvantages of this method and the danger ».
Mr. Fleming said that the operation to separate the head from the body and the use of his invention would be its customers. He writes: "I talked to half a dozen people who wanted to know when such an operation can be available and how much it will cost. Some of them die, the other paralyzed. Most say that if the consciousness remains clear head and be able to think, remember, see, read, hear, and say if the operation leads to. Indifference body below the neck, relieving pain, they will give their consent ».
