If two people are donors, one gets mauled by a lion, and another gets brain damage, could you put the lion victims brain into the brain damage persons body? Further more, how much money would i need in cash, to conduct the experiment in soviet Russia?
 
I'm being serious. I've got quite a bit in my bank, and i think i would become famous for revolutionizing the way people think about people. Perhaps it would create an uproar with religions, and therefore cease their existence. These are all positives, the only negatives i can think of are 2 people get messed about with and i possibly end up in jail.

In order to donate a brain you actually have to have one to donate.
 
No you couldn't. It's not like an organ that can sort of be spliced into a working set of pipes and channels. The brain works as the bit in your head, the spinal column running down your back and all the peripheral nerves that shoot off it around the body. You'd have to somehow move the entire thing.

Nerves often can repair themselves structurally from the outside, say after trauma. But they don't function as they used to.
 
In short, no. There is no technology at the moment that can re-attach nerves, which is what the brain stem is comprised of.
 
I love how when someone asks a serious question, OcUKers give them loads of stupid replies, yet when someone asks a stupid question OcUKers give them serious replies.

Only on OcUK :p
