I doubt it will be successful. The surgeon isn't even 100% sure if any of his methods will work.

We still do not have the knowledge nor the technology to make such a grand experiment.

Technology, even to this day, is moving at a snail's pace, due to conflicting interests and human greed.
Teleportation and flying cars would've been a reality by now.

Greed, in one form or another, drives most innovations. Or at the very least, funds it and makes it accessible.

That and war, which I guess is a byproduct of greed a lot if times.

Anyway, how can they transplant a head onto another body, but can't fix paralysis? Digi, go to med school and explain this to me.

From other news articles on line, a Russian man is expected to have this procedure performed later this year.

So for this to work wouldn't there have to be a functional human body for the head to go on?

Are two people going to switch bodies or is an otherwise healthy person going to have to volunteer to die in order for someone else to get their body.

This is high risk of failure, high risk of huge side effects even if it doesn't fail outright (I gather him effectively being paralyzed is pretty likely)... but considering the situation still understandable.

They're going to wait for someone to die of a stroke, or shot to the head, or similar.

*And* happens to be compatible.

There's a high possibility they may not be able to find a suitable body.

Hopefully, they just find a living suitable candidate and kill them.

Can't make an omelette without murdering innocents, as I always say.

More of the latter than the former I'd say. Greed is a poor innovator but a great salesman.
