Heard about this earlier today too, crazy.

How many years until they can start transplanting heads onto new bodies?

Reminds me of that video where those russians chopped that dogs head off and pumped blood into it to keep it alive or that other russian scientist who kept attaching dog heads to other dogs.

It's good but the immunisuppression drugs you have to take to stop rejection is a deal breaker. A friend of my dad had a double lung transplant, once he started on the anti rejection drugs he kept getting skin cancers all over his body
