Head transplants will finally be available in two years!

Sergio Canavero, a doctor in Italy, has drawn up the plans for a human head transplant

A surgeon says the first human head transplant could take place within the next two years.

Sergio Canavero, a doctor in Turin, Italy, has drawn up the plans for the radical surgery and hopes to begin assembling a team this June, the Guardian reports.

“If society doesn’t want it, I won’t do it. But if people don’t want it, in the U.S. or Europe, that doesn’t mean it won’t be done somewhere else,” he said. “I’m trying to go about this the right way, but before going to the moon, you want to make sure people will follow you.”

Although Canavero says the technology isn’t far off from making this surgery possible, he could confront a range of ethical issues. “The real stumbling block is the ethics,” Canavero told New Scientist magazine. “Should this surgery be done at all? There are obviously going to be many people who disagree with it.”

The first successful head transplant was completed in 1970 on a monkey. The monkey couldn’t move its body and died after nine days.

'Sounds like monkey business to me. And all over again,' exclaimed Doctor Janey Public to a National Geographic journalist urging for comment. 'But I'll buy a head just for the hell of it. I'll put a big one on lay-away. bye.' And the interview ended with a headache.

p.s. coming in 2016, 'Suicide Squad'

What's a Suicide Squad Anyway?

We recognize most of these names, but one seems to stand out: Suicide Squad. What is that? Is it a team of heroes that kill themselves? Not exactly! The Suicide Squad is a group of super villains the government sends in insanely high-risk black ops in exchange for pardons if they make an unlikely return.
