How to get ahead?

[something daft already!!]

2017 is penned to be the first time a head transplant will be officially attempted.

Italian neurosurgeon Dr. Sergio Canavero is firm on his promise to deliver the first human head transplant to the world. He says a Chinese man will be the first patient in 2017, and now all he needs is approval and funding. Other experts are highly sceptical.

I imagine all sorts of problems would arise. Even if it was successful, your body would be different so doing stuff would need to be learnt all over again. Could you pop a man's head on a woman's body or vice versa? Would it be a bit like Worzel Gummidge? A head for every occasion? Surely there are too many connections to the brain to reconnect? It won't be like wiring up a plug surely.

Supposed to be happening next month.

For years, Italian surgeon Dr. Sergio Canavero has been planning to attempt to perform the world’s first head transplant and proposed that it would take place in December 2017, garnering immense media attention and criticism.

I think most of my customers would qualify as brain dead.

"What would it be like to be a girl for a day"

I imagine it would be a little more permanent than that. Unless they can invent some sort of USB connection for heads. UHB, Universal Head Bus.

Bit creepy, can't see it happening, how do you find a bodiless subject in the first place?

I would guess you would pop to your local second hand second head shop for a bargain. Lidl or Aldi will have cut price ones.

The head will already be connected to a body which will have some sort of illness which makes the head owner want to swap bodies which isn't ill.

That would be cool. You could plug your body into an exercise-o-matic at night to get it all buff too, while you sleep using your backup bod.

Like a reverse Worzel Gummidge.

So this didn't happen then! Shame.
