I have been following this story for a while and it is certainly an outrageous one. When I posted a similar story last year in my anti-aging community, I got some sharp remarks from members of the medical community. Many think Dr. Canavero is totally out of line and unethical.

Nonetheless, Dr. Canavero has gone trough all the proper channels and seems to be going through with this massive undertaking. The thing is body transplants (head transplant from a different perspective) have never been successful in the past. Transplants like this performed on mice resulted in the animal lasting only a few hours at best.

While I am am not overly optimistic, it is his life to lead as he choses and he deserves for it to be long and healthy. I wish for all the best for Valery Spiridonov. He is is a true pioneer ready to risk his life to make this a better world. I feel nothing but admiration and respect for this amazingly brave soul.

If his operation is successful, it will herald a new and exciting world when it comes to defeating aging and death.
