:lol: Gizmag has a page on fusing spinal cords together, though nothing about reconnecting a single broken spinal cord. :o hmy: Anyway, the idea of the head of someone whose body is diseased, injured, or, perhaps, just does not meet the requirements of the head, being attached to a different, perhaps, ideal body, is disturbing. :ninja: An Italian neurosurgeon is certain it can be done, as soon as 2017. :shifty:

How about transplanting an extra head? Zaphod Beeblebrox perhaps? :lol:

The Gizmag page has an image from THE BRAIN THAT WOULDN'T DIE, which, BTW, TCM will show this Weds @ 8:45 Am EST. :D :ninja:

Could you imagine if you one day became a quadriplegic and the only available body was of the opposite sex? Mind=Blown.

;) I assume it would be easier to simply reattach the nerves in the original body.
