Closer than we thought?

First full body transplant is two years away, surgeon claims

Doctor plans to graft a living person's head on to a donor body using procedures he believes will soon be ready

Even though I am all for education and progress, this procedure is too far "over the top" for me.

If, some day in the future, the procedure really could be done on humans, I can envision countless psychological problems for anyone (including their families) surviving such an operation.

It is my opinion and belief, eventually, we all reach a point when the only logical course is to "surrender the horn of plenty" and let go of life.

If someones' health were so bad where this procedure were the only alternative to sustaining life, I suspect not many people would willingly be a party to it.

But, the article is interesting.

What has happened to Sheldon's (and others) idea to "transfer" into a robot?
