In the 1990s there used to be company called "Loompanics" which carried all sorts of unconventional and fringe publications. One of my favorite entries in the Loompanics catalog was the 1988 book "If We Can Keep a Severed Head Alive...Discorporation and U.S. Patent 4,666,425". Sadly, I never bought a copy, but thanks to the internet I can now read the patent. https://patents.google.com/patent/US4666425A/en https://patents.google.com/patent/US4666425A/en I have not read the book, but my understanding is that the book is largely a discussion of the ethics of such a procedure. I'd love to read it someday. If anyone comes across a PDF copy of the original book, please let me know!
