WORLD FIRST HEAD TRANSPLANT?! Take a trip to the unbelievable!

THE world's first human head transplant has been "successfully" carried out after an 18-hour procedure in China.
Italian neurosurgeon Sergio Canavero announced an experiment to reattach the head of a corpse to a body had been achieved as planned.

He said the test showed it was possible to reattach the spine, nerves, blood vessels, veins and skin from the head to the body.

The next step will be to carry out the procedure using a live, but brain dead, human being who has agreed to organ donation, before the first attempt at a living person with a functioning brain is made.

Dr Canavero, is dubbed Dr Frankenstein for his bid to be the first medic to carry out a full head transplant on a living human.

He claims eventually a successful head transplant will lead to "immortality" for those who can afford it and mega rich business "tycoons" whose bodies are failing will be queuing up to buy the procedure and fuse their age-old head onto the body of an athletic person in their 20s or 30s.

The head of a corpse has been successfully attached back onto a dead body.

Professor Canavero, director of the Turin Advanced Neuromodulation Group, announced the success at a press conference in Vienna.

The procedure was carried out by a team led by Dr Xiaoping Ren, who last year grafted a head onto the body of a monkey.

Mr Canavero promised a full report of the Harbin Medical University team's procedure and a timeframe for the live transplant within a few days.

He said: "For too long nature has dictated her rules to us.

"We're born, we grow, we age and we die. For millions of years humans has evolved and 110 billion humans have died in the process.

"That's genocide on a mass scale.

"We have entered an age where we will take our destiny back in our hands.

It will change everything. It will change you at every level.

"The first human head transplant, in the human mode, has been realised.

"The surgery lasted 18 hours. The paper will be released in a few days.'

"Everyone said it was impossible, but the surgery was successful."

He said the next step of using a brain dead organ donor would pave the way for a real operation."

It is absolutely amazing! And a pretty creepy...
