If you put a monkey head on a democrat would it make a difference?

[Red Badger]

The operation was a success, but the patient died?...............

[umgud]

WOW

[dfwgator]

But could he create a four-assed Monkey?

[Cboldt]

Already been done, twice. I saw the movies. A guy with a fly head sure looks weird.

[dangus]

>> ‘The monkey fully survived the procedure without any neurological injury of whatever kind.’... They did not attempt to connect the spinal cord, and the monkey died 22 hours later - <<

Seems kinda relevant...

Science!

[PROCON]

...after a series of experiments on animals and human corpses, according to New Scientist.

Now that would be interesting to see.

One of the greatest so-bad-it's-fun movies ever. The secret to such a movie is that the director must be deluded that he is making the greatest work of art that the world has ever known. "If only the whole world could see and understand my work, everyone would love one another."

[Carnac the Magnificent]

The word is demonic.

Some people are quite lucky. They do not need to change their appearance.

Doctor ‘does head transplant on a monkey’ – and plans to do a human next

Like transplant a human head on a monkey? Been done!

[ChinaGotTheGoodsOnClinton]

Is he also in charge of China’s economic numbers?

[fwdude]

This is ALMOST as bizarre as trying to surgically change someone's sex.

[fwdude]

I’m not an ‘animal rights’ activist by any stretch, but what a horrific way to experiment with a monkey. (Just viewed the picture at the article.)

[OKSooner]

“We can do the operation, is the head dead yet?”

[Starstruck]

I put the head of a monkey on a monkey. He threw monkey dung at me, thereby proving he had monkey brains. I will herby transplant the spare monkey head on to a liberal, thereby proving essentially nothing. It’s settled science.

[heartwood]

Some thoughts.

1) The experiment was supposedly done in China, land of no medical ethics, ninth month abortions, fetal soup, and transplants taken from executed prisoners, some political.

2) Canavero has previously admitted, "The final goal is immortality."

He says that there has already been interest from ultra-rich patients seeking to extend their lives by grafting ageing heads onto fresh, young bodies.

Again, China. Dead prisoner, or dead clone?

3) -15 deg Celsius seems dubiously low, 5 degrees Fahrenheit, which makes the whole report dubious.
