Posted this in the science thread but it deserves its own.

At first I was really intrigued then when they start talking about how Spiridonov might lose his mind it all sounds quite terrifying.
That’s one way to get…ahead in life.
One step closer to Robocop…
Getting head from another man? No thank you.
This Valery Spiridonov who will be undergoing the procedure
Makes a lot of sense, death row inmates out there pumping iron getting in great shape then we got actual useful human beings (ie scientists trying to get this shitbreed human race ahead a bit), I say fuck the moral compass and get some experimenting done if it gives the people who deserve a chance a shot and fuck the donors. Plenty of expendable people out there.
This baby shit, get at me when they talking about brain chips my dude.
No but seriously, they just got a body lying around? And yeah this is basically a death sentence but dude is dying anyway so fuck it, if it does work shit, I want my head installed on a damn pig. Those 30 minute ejaculation sessions.
so if this does work and he jerks it with his new body, is that considered gay?
No because the hand and penis belong to that same body dude, damn you simple.
why not just take his dna, fix it, clone a new body, and sew the old head onto the new one?
Eh. I will be more impressed if they actually clone a bio-engineered weapon. Something like Seth.
…so crazy robot bodies are on the horizon?
Ironically, the first people who learned an animal brain can be kept alive after separating head from body is the Nazis. I haven’t watched the video, but I think the worst than death portion is the excruciating pain and having self-awareness after decapitation.
I’ve seen old ass videos of Russians keeping a dog’s head alive, and having it lick things.
They was a lot of experimentation with monkies in the 70s that proved (obviously for that time technology wise) the feat would be impossible. Insert obligatory raz0r racist post here. If they can figure out how to fuse the spinal cord with this magic glue, it wont just save the lives of a lot of people born with genetically fucked up bodies, but the scope to save paraplegics is massive. Maybe a person would still be paralised but can live a lot longer, who knows they should defo be looking more into this sorta shit.
Tbh I dunno why biotech firms arent throwing billions at this, especially in the US with your mercenary doctors lol shit sounds like a gold rush if they crack it. No pun intended. :trollface:
Now is there a way to keep a body alive separate from the head? That would save so many marriages
I remember reading the procedures that were done with monkeys on the 70’s (There is also a video of said procedure), so far the problem at the time was fusing the spinal cord, if they have managed to solve this problem and the procedure is a success or at least the man can live longer with his new body this could mean a great progress for science and mankind.
The question is where they’re going to find a headless body?
Sleepy Hollow, duh.
