This comment summarizes my opinion on this subject: "The doctor can easily prove his technique works by transplanting the heads of two rats, preferably a white and brown one. If they survive and could walk around, not only will he get all the funding he wants, but the Nobel Prize in Medicine."
- raverbashing 12y agoWell, I'd think rats pose different problems, but the essence is right. I believe heart transplants were first attempted on sheep (wikipedia failed me on this one)

- Simp 12y agoSeems like it has already been done: In 2002, other head transplants were also conducted in Japan in rats. Unlike the head transplants performed by Dr. White, however, these head transplants involved grafting one rat's head onto the body of another rat that kept its head. Thus, the rat ended up with two heads.[10]
- dimitar 12y agoThis has been done over 100 years ago with dogs.
- toxicFork 12y agoI consider that to be even better! Did the other rat's head have any way to control anything in the body, or was it more like a guest?
- bjwbell 12y agoI'm guessing it's more like it died after a short period of time. If you look at the history of head transplants (yes a gruesome area), they ALL end badly for the subject.
