Nope.
> That’s the idea of controversial neurosurgeon Sergio Canavero, who claims in a recent article that it could be “technically feasible” to stave off aging by simply scooping out a person’s brain and plopping it into a younger, more agile body.
Anyways, here's the pub: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9805622/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9805622/
- ben_w 4y agoThanks. The usual response on news of medical breakthroughs is someone pointing out it only works in mice. Looks like this isn't even that far developed: > This work can only be fully understood in its use in humans after its validation in animals. and > Contrary to common lore, a full BT is achievable, at least theoretically. Of course, further extensive cadaveric rehearsals will be necessary, followed by tests in brain-dead organ donors (as e.g., done recently in kidney xenotransplants). New surgical tools will have to be developed.
