Yes, it's for real. At least the article is from CNBC, a media outlet that works hard to maintain its credibility. Full article is here. Here's a summary:
Two surgeons in China developing a method to transplant a human head
Italian scientist Sergio Canavero and Chinese surgeon Xiaoping Ren are developing a plan to transplant a human head — right down to neck bolts and electricity.
Their focus is to help patients with spinal cord injuries and paralysis.
The surgeons have already performed the procedure on mice, rats and a dog, all of which survived the surgery and even regained some motor function.
Although the scientific and medical advancements necessary for human head transplantation are rapidly approaching plausibility, major ethical and moral hurdles remain.
So what do you think? Are there any major ethical and moral hurdles to resolve?
I can't think of any.
