A Russian computer scientist will become the first human guinea pig attempting to have his head chopped off and surgically placed onto another body.
Valerie Spiridonov has previously announced his intention to undergo the procedure in April, the surgery is expected to take placeDecember 2017, because that when Spiridonov, who is desperately in need of a new body, says it’ll all go down. He suffers from a genetic muscle-wasting condition called Werdnig-Hoffman disease, which has confined him to a wheelchair.
“When I realized that I could participate in something really big and important, I had no doubt left in my mind and started to work in this direction,” Spiridonov told Central European News. “The only thing I feel is the sense of pleasant impatience, like I have been preparing for something important all my life and it is starting to happen.”
Spiridonov said “two years is the time frame needed to verify all scientific calculations and plan the procedure’s details.”
That procedure, which will be performed by Italian neurosurgeon Sergio Canavero, will take up to 36 hours, and will require cooler heads to prevail.
Seriously, Spiridonov’s head will need to be cooled — as well as the donor body — to extend the amount of time both can survive without oxygen.
He said he feels a “pleasant impatience” and is looking forward to restoring his independence.
But it doesn’t take a brain surgeon to know the odds could be stacked against him, considering the huge risks and complications that could arise.
