Chinese Doctor Performs Head Transplants On Mice
An anonymous reader writes: Xiaoping Ren, a Chinese surgeon, has performed roughly 1,000 head transplants on mice since 2013 and says that monkeys are next. Some of the mice have lived as long as a day after the operations according to Ren and he hopes to have similar success with primates. With $1.6 million of funding so far, he says, "We want to do this clinically, but we have to make an animal model with long-term survival first. Currently, I am not confident to say that I can do a human transplant."
We'll be able to give our decrepit MPs and congressmen new, healthy brains!
How can I believe you when you tell me what I don't want to hear?
Maybe if he just keeps stapling the monkey head onto a new body once a day, the head will be able to live a long and horrifying life.
Incipiamus, fratres, servire Domino Deo, quia hucusque vix vel parum in nullo profecimus.
Don't worry, by the time the study actually gets approved, they will have given monkeys human rights and they'll have to use tax evaders or Christians.
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"
You dismantle the neighbourhood cats and dogs to make yourself a Labrapussy and they chuck you in the nut house .. but if I was a "Doctor" I'd be praised for my work!
Unfair!!!
Let me guess: you believe in a magical bearded man in the sky.
