Abstract

In the past, head transplantation used to be an imagination mostly narrated in folklore. However, nowadays with the advancement in science it is possible that soon head transplant might be feasible. It promises to be a boon to individuals who suffer from a terminal disease but have a healthy brain. Fear and skepticism over surgical, ethical and psychosocial issues do exist in the community over it but recently, the first cephalosomatic anastomosisperformed in a human model confirms the possibility of such a procedure in near future. What remains unanswered though is the outcome of such a crazy procedure.
