Why did I agree to a living body donor for my head transplant?

So, maybe this is not just a creative suicide method.

A couple of years ago I heard of a Dr. White, iirc, running experiments on switching heads and bodies.

What is the technology they will use to get the brain and spinal nerves to grow back together? Or will he have a new body and be a quadraplegic?

Why hasn’t he done this operation on a pig? Severed its head and put it back on? See if it can be done without the problems of rejection and with a spinal column that is wired to the head it grew up with?

How could any ethics committee in the west permit this to be done to two human beings?

OMG!!!! THAT’s THE movie I remember from my youth, watching “creature feature” or something like it on a late-night weekend. She’d have a conveyor belt constantly running past the neck! Creepy!

There has been an urban legend since I was a kid, that Walts head is cryogenically frozen, so that some day they could bring him back to life.

Who is François Alcasan?
