"Head replacement" Professor: Awakening the frozen brain after a successful head transplant

Sergio Canavero

[Netease smart news April 30 news] in view of the remarkable progress made in medicine in recent years, it is difficult to believe that something is still impossible. Humans began to use artificial intelligence to diagnose diseases. Semi-robots have become popular in real life. We are also looking for new clues that will give us hope for eternal life. Although a more important breakthrough is still underway, if there is a research team that is really facing seemingly insurmountable difficulties, then it must be Professor Sergio Canavero, Turin senior neuromodulation group director, and his team. .

Another world "first time"

Four years ago, this critically acclaimed neurosurgeon announced plans for "the world's first human head transplant." This week, he confirmed in an interview with OOOM that this controversial operation will be carried out within the next 10 months. According to Canavero, the operation will be carried out in Harbin, China, and led by Dr. Ren Xiaoping, a surgeon at Harbin Medical University. Unlike previous reports, Chinese citizens, not Russian citizen Valery Spiridonov, will accept donations.

However, the most remarkable news from Canavero's interview was that after his head replacement (head transplant), the plan: "Once the first human head transplant operation is successful, then the following Before 2018, we will be able to re-awaken the first frozen brain."

After the death of the world?

Canavero plans to remove the brain from minus 196 degrees Celsius (-320 degrees Fahrenheit) and soak it in liquid nitrogen. Then he will put his brain in a donor's body and try to successfully bring the patient back from his death. In the process, he will also know about human beings' problems in the afterlife.

Canavero said: "If we revive this person, we will receive the first true record of what happened after the death." "The head transplant gave us the first one about whether there is a future, heaven, reincarnation. The insights, or anything you want to know, or death is just a light switch, and that's it."

Obviously, this is the material of science fiction, and the medical community and society as a whole have good reasons to question the possibility of their success.

"Cryogenic brain advocates cannot show that the brain of the entire mammal will begin to recover after the brain is stored in liquid nitrogen." Clive Coen, professor of neuroscience at King's College London, told the Daily Telegraph reporter: "Mammalian brains The process of entering a subzero temperature will cause it to be irreversibly damaged."

Even if the surgery is successful, the frozen brain can “wake up”, and we can hardly imagine how complex the psychological changes that the patient would experience because of the decreased mental power and the unimaginable trauma derived from it. Although we are now living in a world that is making everything impossible, it seems that some experiments may still be more suitable for science fiction than modern hospitals.

The first human head replacement surgery will be performed within 10 months at the surgical site or in China

According to cnet, at the beginning of 2015, Italian surgeon Sergio Canavero announced that he would implement a groundbreaking head transplant within two years and that he would become the headline news all over the world.

In an interview with the German magazine "OOOM", he recently revealed that if all goes well, the world's first human head transplant will be achieved within 10 months. The surgical site is in China.

Previously, it was Valery Spiridonov who agreed to be the first person in the world to undergo a head transplant. The Russian computer engineer suffered spinal muscular dystrophy. However, according to Sergio Canavero, the first volunteer to undergo this operation will be a Chinese.

The Chinese medical team working with Sergio Canavero will be led by Ren Xiaoping, a professor at Harbin Medical University. Ren Xiaoping is also the world’s first person to successfully complete a mouse head transplant.

Sergio Canavero claimed that he had successfully implemented the head transplant process on monkeys. But other scientists also expressed their concerns. Arthur Caplan, a bioethicist at New York University, said that Sergio Canavero is “too crazy” and that even if the surgery is successful, what will the new body do to the transplanted head and brain? Unknown.

Sergio Canavero himself is full of confidence. He said that the current medical experiment has made great progress. Even if it was a few months ago, it seems unlikely that a head transplant operation would be possible. . For the medical community, this will undoubtedly be a revolutionary breakthrough.
