Monkey Heads Transplanted At Last

Posted by michael on from the i-need-a-brain-for-my-mathter dept.

elcosmico sends news that monkey brains are being transplanted. Well, sort of. We post some weird stuff in the science section, don't we?

    I'm afraid that I have to agree with the criticism of the procedure cited in the article. It seems that this guy's found a way to create the heads-in-jars found on Futurama, except without the ability to control giant robots.

    The whole procedure actually reminds me a bit of the plot of David Bowie's Outside CD, where some crazy futuristic people perform bizarre medical operations as forms of artistic expression. Or that crazy German guy who embalms corpses in order to sculpt them (saw it on the Learning Channel).
