Sergio Canavero is unyielding that human head transplants will work. Truth be told, he guarantees that he could finish such a transplant inside a year, and he says that he has the science to back it up. Be that as it may, isn't that right?

Towards the finish of 2017, Canavero's task stood out as truly newsworthy when the Italian surgeon claimed that he had entirely played out the technique, which he calls the "head anastomosis wander" or HEAVEN.

Consequent reports confirmed that no such system occurred and that the work was finished on cadavers - numerous neuroscientists question whether even that much was extremely done.

Most scientists question whether there has been sufficient logical progress to enable Canavero to perform such an operation next fall in China, as he guarantees he will do.

Actually, they question whether research will make head transplants a suitable choice even within a reasonable time-frame.

Richard L. Harvey, Northwestern University relate teacher of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, wholes the present agreement: "Now, it would not be conceivable to interface the brainstem to the spinal rope so as to get work. So if this were done, the individual would be a [quadriplegic]," he told Futurism.

"We can't repair spinal ropes in patients with spinal rope damage, so we positively can't do that [successfully play out a head transplant]."
