An Italian doctor believes he can improve the lives of people suffering from paralysis and cancer with a head transplant procedure. With a story like this, it almost seems surreal to be able to transfer an entire head or rather brain onto another body. This procedure is hoped to be successful in about two years time. However, this is not a head transplant but actually a body procedure. Before a procedure like this is even attempted, researchers, would need to show that the spinal cord could be made together in humans. The challenges of a head transplant also include getting vocal cords to work. Making sure the trachea and esophagus to function properly. Research is still to be made, so for now, no one's brain will be going anywhere.
