Brain transplant

[aardvark]

Why haven't they developed brain transplant technology yet? Take some young person with a good brain whose body is knackered, and drop their noggin into the head of someone who's brain dead (not necessarily from this forum). Might be a bit weird for a bit looking like someone else, but that's a minor inconvenience, and could even be a plus if you get the Brad Pitt lookylike.

It's been done. I had my head grafted onto a clone of Johhny Vegas.

Feasible according to one quack.

I'm not sure the picture lends the idea any credibility though.

I think the hard bit, technologically speaking, is gettin a good fit.

take someone with a pea brain for example. It wobbles around on the end of the spinal column and is a grave danger as it thrashes around unless it is constrained by a thick layer of crap. Taking Sasgurus brain out of that environment would never work, unless it was transplanted into something much smaller, like an otter for example. or a vole

Cross species transplants? Woof.

I can't believe they put it on the wrong end

I understand the biggest obstacle is finding enough lightning to complete the transfer.

Who would have any use for a retarded otter though?
