Yes, it would really take some getting used to, to either have a new body, but the same old head...or to get used to a loved one having the same old face but a new bod.  |

I think its cool. It could save lives of those who are dying from cancer by using the body of someone who is brain dead.  |

hehe!!! ^^ I think the owner of the head would pick where the body would go to live. But you know, that would be a good debate... who would have rightful ownership? Like could the family of the decapitated man say what the new head should do since he's using their relatives body? Naw, it wouldn't be like I could walk up to my friend's body with the new head and the body would know I was someone familiar...or would it? You opened a can of worms here Gormy...would you like some hot sauce for them?  |

It's kinda sick but I would do it, I guess. Why not? I have Lupus and I am ill from it. eventually it will attack my organs and I will die. I have kids and I'm young. I wisj I could do something like that, I guess. I'm not sure. Good post though  |

Oh, What the heck!...Sure why not, as long as its attached to a female body, then I could deal with it  |

First off, it is impossible to transplant chimpanzee heads. You sever a spinal column completely, it don't matter if it's human or chimp... But, I'll play anyway, with Thunder's idea of whose identity is it? Could the "head" be sued for child support for kids the "body" created? Could "head" claim the work history, university degrees etc. that "body" experienced or obtained? If body achieved something of significance (say, got an Academy Award) could "head" have bragging rights? Can "head" claim affiliation with say, an exclusive country club that "body" used to belong to? If "head" and "body" were both married, which gets charged with bigamy? If "body" had a criminal record, does head now have one too? Oh, I could dream up a zillion lawsuits, and wild movie scripts with this idea. Lucky for us, it's an impossible idea. But fun, anyway.  |

Man, you might be inheriting all kinds of incurable physical flaws too...and what about the true stories of organ transplants that have shown proof they were imprinted with the mental personality and memories of the one that donated? One guy had full recollection of the life lived by the man that had died and donated his eyes, or was it liver..anyway, what if the body had a mind of it's own, so to speak? Started making you crave ice cream in the middle of the night from a deli in another city? Hmmmm. |

Amaranth. Maybe the fact of chimpanzee head transplants is less well-known than I thought. I'm not necessarilly saying that the body could react to brain commands. I think what happened was that heads and bodies were joined physically. I think this procedure needs some work before it could be applied to humans. |

Cloud Friend, you mention something I've heard about: Recipients of donated organs inheriting traits of the donars. Yes, a completely donated body might really affect the personality of the head. |

One more thing.. what if you got a body of a guy or girl that was, well, promiscuous...and all of a sudden it started recognizing some of their dates on the street...your with your wife/husband, and all of a sudden you get the urge to be with someone that walks by again...Man, I could just see the person looking back at their mate at the body is walking after someone else, yelling, "honey, I can't seem to turn this thing around!!" |

Remember what the door mouse said, "Feed your Head!" If my head can be of any use after the body is croaked, by all means "take the head." Better a head, than dead. One heck of a post, Gorm. I liked it. Write on.....  |

Yes, I can see that by most of your responses that most of you think that head transplantation might be problematic. I tend to agree. |

That lab rat is certainly a smart one. I guess from hanging out with all those scientists. No problem about the little tracks. If they were big ones I would be worried. |

Everytime I see something written by you I have to smile because it will always be a unique perspective on things. So I read your post and I am still smiling at the many prospects that this would open up. On a very serious note though I have to say that people are so afraid of death and dying that they may go to drastic measures to save a life probably their own. If I had this as an option with someone close to me or myself I would say that I would prefer to die because I am unafraid of death and am quite sure that the resurrection promised by Jesus will be a real event on earth in the near future. There are also some things that humans must NOT mess with, I believe this is one of them.  |
