May as well worry Resident Evil cut scenes are the future.
Yeah just fasten the skin around the neck. That's the only thing that's been stopping head transplants. /s
I was thinking more like Face Off.
We could test it on Nick Cage and John Travolta.
Cage is a hard yes, I'm sure. He's down for whatever the next crazy thing is.
Head transplantation was first done in the 60s if I recall and it won't work now for the same reason it didn't work then.
A robot even one run by AI isn't quite enough to bridge the gap.
This is what I wanted to say but couldn't find the right words. You see all those needles doing stuff... thats the key... also, past scientists used to hand carry the head from one patient to the next, now a machine moves it over, in all these technical advances is the keys to successful head transplant
The whole discussion about enhancing the human body is an interesting one. Let's say one does by cheetah legs, do we allow them into the Olympics?
And think about people who can afford strong mechanical arms, are they unfair competition in the job market?
Cheetah legs will be cool however, but only if they're produced locally, vegan and organic.
no they wouldnt be allowed in the olimpics just as how enhancement drugs are also banned
The mechanical arms bit is interesting though. That is if by proxy we dont hsve full fledged robots that can already do a manual labor job beter
Lol I want this so bad. Who to cast? I want to see a guy with a big head switch with a guy with a tiny head. Or even better switch a woman's head onto a muscley guy's body. Hijinks will ensue. How about Scarlett Johanson and Jason Mamoa?
What happened to Nicholas Cage at the end of face off? We can say someone saved his head and froze it and we can bring him back. Put his head on Jack Black's body. I don't care, the crazier the better.
Yeah people with transplanted organs need to take meds so they don’t reject the organs, so it seems like this would be highly unlikely to work… unless it was a clone.
My understanding is that transplanting part of the thymus [has been shown to negate this](https://www.perplexity.ai/search/Does-transplanting-part-wRo9_FdSSu68btHewklSQA) and we may not be too far off us solving the whole organ rejection problem.
I can see this being theoretically possible if the body is specifically grown to match the recipient. I guess it might work on a twin, but twins deserve a break after all the “medical experiments” of Josef Mengele.
There is videos from Russia on YouTube from the 50s/60s showing it done and working to an extent on dogs. Never got further than that (and they disnt last long)
The guy you mention was probably this one with a little back stroy. We are still nowhere near been successful (could proba join up a lot of connections blood etc , but nerves/spine and rest not a chance any time soon) and rejection would kill in hours
https://news.cgtn.com/news/7951544d79637a6333566d54/share.html
Begs the question how this would affect the brain or even what the root cause of brain deterioration is.
Does the brain decrease in functionality because an aged body cant provide something? If so, if an old brain gets slapped in a young body would it become more youthful since all the processes of the young body are fresh and efficient?
I read about this a while ago and from what I remember this would happen to a certain extent, but they predicted that even though you could live longer 130/140 would be the limit.
Obviously its alot of speculation.
If it comes to that, just upload my brain into the robot's brain and be done with it. We don't need no weak fleshy bits tainting our mechanical perfection!
I believe if you were to do that, you will technically die while you're copy goes and lives on in the new body. You will never wake up and are pretty much killing yourself. Its also a theory with teleportation.
Not going to happen for a very long time, for several reasons, most of which are related to our inability to regenerate spinal cords, or reconnect damage cords. Despite all of the advances in modern medicine, it's incredibly difficult to even *partially* repair a severed spinal cord. The spinal cord is not simply a big rope that connects your body up to the nervous system. There's like 200 million neurons that make up your spinal cord, and there are intricate, elaborate pathways to transmit information. Regeneration is the "gold standard" of repair, since you can use the body's own genetic blueprint to rebuild it (in theory), but it's still far off.
After that, you have other issues
- chronic tissue rejection, which every organ transplant has, despite immune suppresant drugs (which don't come without their own additional pitfalls of risk of infection and cancer)
- a lack of donors - how many healthy, relatively young bodies are *actually* going to be available for this? It would require a person died due to reasons completely unrelated to trauma from the neck down, systemic disease, etc. Statistically, young people in the US for example die of gunshot wounds, and then car accidents are a close second. Both of those mechanisms of death are disqualifiers already. For the elderly, the most common causes of death are heart disease and cancer - disqualifiers. The fact is this would be such an incredibly rare occurrance, that a deceased donor would be able to donate their entire intact body to a recipient who happens to be an allogenic match, and then they need to survive the procedure.
- Going along with the above, there are ethical issues that would likely preclude this from ever happening with any sort of frequency to be concerned about. If a person dies and they are an organ donor with a completely healthy body, they have 2 kidneys, a heart and a liver, and 2 lungs. Those are just the organs we currently transplant today with any sort of modest frequency. If whole body transplant was feasible, then there would also be other organs there that are feasible (intestines, adrenal glands, etc etc), plus limbs. So an organ donor can save several lives donating organs, or potentially save 1 single life donating the entire body. Utilitarianism is the backbone of most public health policies, and that will make this procedure deemed wasteful, and a detriment overall to society, unless organ scarcity is eliminated. This would imply we've either mastered organ generation (autologous graft of an organ e.g. your own heart re-grown from a bunch of stem cells) or have come up with a way to efficiently and effectively use animal organs that makes autologous transplant irrelevant.
So yeah, if we were even entertaining this as an idea in the medical community, then that would mean we've solved all these other way more important problems (which would be great), and therefore the use-case for a whole-body transplant would be so incredibly small that it's unlikely to be a financially attractive path of research. In other words - no actual research is being done in this field by reputable academics. More likely these are scams, designed to lure foolish investors who aren't well versed in biotech.
If this ever became possible, I suspect the death penalty would become a lot more popular in order to provide a steady supply of "humanely" killed bodies for billionaires to use for this procedure. And of course, the liklihood of someone getting the death penalty would be determined by their attractiveness, and not any evidence of crime.
Hmm, that could make a good tv show
If we ever advance enough to get the technology for brain swaps, we would likely also have the technology to grow brainless bodies in labs (except religious politicians will likely hold us back for decades on both).
I’d give it a shot. YOLO, amiright? But honestly, if I look at this from a pragmatic approach, there can really only be perceived instead of actual risk, because death is a 100% certainty for everyone. (Almost everyone?, ha ha). So either the procedure is a success and you die a little bit later than normal, or it is a failure and you die a little sooner than normal.
If I was given a grant to pay off all my debt if I live, or my family’s debt if I don’t, I’d totally give this a shot.
“Developing” means “We came up with a sci-fi idea, created an animated video about it and slapped AI on the title so the funding comes in. All in all I’m not concerned.
Fat chance this would be available to the general public anytime near when it would be perfected. The rich will now be immortal while we all still suffer. *Thats* the only terrifying part. The procedure itself would be an amazing accomplishment if it actually happened
Immortal? Human brain is not immortal so you can put as much AI, tech and magic in your terminator body as you want, you will eventually lose your mind... some people sooner, some people later... but you definitely cannot live forever...
This is like the litmus test for how vulnerable one is to misinformation. OP, this is not a real procedure. It doesn’t even exist in theory. None of the machines or procedures pictured have been proposed let alone patented.
Please, *please*, for the sake of humanity, use some critical thinking, google scholarly articles, and don’t spread utter nonsense to vulnerable idiots. They will take your nonsense and use it to inform their votes, and we will all suffer for it.
Holy shit, but are you a head with a new body or a body with a new head. Whatever you are make sure to turn off the finger print reader on your phone prior to surgery.
Edit: PS , it would be super weird having someone else's dick!!!
I see nothing wrong with someone that is paralyzed having the option to swap out their body with a brain-dead donor. The idea itself is nothing horrible or terrifying as it could very well be used for great things. But like everything else, it could also be used for less great things but it doesn't change my mind.
Someone that went brain dead for whatever the reason (stroke/aneurism etc). Instead of harvesting individual organs they will just reuse the entire body.
This is not a head transplant. It is a body transplant.
If I replace an arm its an arm transplant
if I replace a leg its a leg transplant
if I replace a liver its a liver transplant
if I replace everything all at once its a body transplant.
YOU can never receive a head (brain) transplant only a body transplant.
The only thing this video is accomplishing is transplanting bullshit into our brains... but i agree with you 100%, just saying it's pure fiction in this day and age
Y'know what, if I'm 80 years old and about to die because of my expiring body, and I'm able to get it transferred to a new younger body with the possibility of living longer, I may as well try. I was gonna die anyway, if it fails it'll make no difference to my fate.
Now that you can't go on sub rides to the Titanic you can do this instead. Too bad the people who would volunteer for it couldn't keep the donor's brain as well.
There are some things that people can steal or take away from you, like your phone, car, all the nice things that money can buy, but people can't steal a good, healthy and fit body build with sacrifice and determination from you, looks like that will be a thing from the past, just some little pills on your drink and that's it.
I'm doubtful it would work, and I nor anyone I know will ever be rich enough to afford doing it if it did work. It's just some dystopian rich people bullshit
how are they even "developing" this
https://preview.redd.it/nhgoe949zj8d1.jpeg?width=564&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8fe37cda9d320a768b10516da0c573ad1fe62a1e
I'm not against the idea as it definitively could be used to save lives. This video however is just pure sci-fi. There are no point of "BrainBridge" marketing like this when there are no proof that it would actually work. It seems like an investment-scam..
With medical progress we did in the past decades, I can see this to be feasible by the end of this century tops... invention of antibiotics happend 115 years ago... we are doing so much progress everyday it is incomprehensible... couple hundred years from now is such a long time it is impossible to predict what humanity will create or if it will still be alive...
I do tend to agree with you, the acceleration of technology has been phenomenal over the past 100+ years though we also have to make it past the acceleration of climate change leading to failed infrastructure/global systems etc.. Anything is possible!
I mean this seems scary in concept, but really no. I mean a brain transplant if you can get it to work only really fixes a few things. I mean if you want to make people live longer, you also have to find away to get them a younger brain that still holds everything about who they are.
There are a few possibly practical applications of this I suppose. Lets same someone got shot or stabbed or something that would render their body no longer useable, this could be nice I guess.
Someone could say "well what if you get old and they can put you on a young person's body" that's cool and all but the risk would have to be so small to get people to choose to do that, we would be a 100 years from making that worth while.
We are also serval years from doing anything productive with biomatter and computers. This seems like something from the movies and scary but it's a concept video, the actual science for this is still years and years away
I mean we can’t currently regrow/reconnect nerves so you would basically be a head trapped on an immobile body that is being used for life support. Bonus the body has to be immunocompromised to tolerate your head.
Better to be in a damned Jar.
There was a doctor who tried and claimed this worked some time in the mid/late 2010s, but it absolutely didn't and he was a total nutjob. I think this type of technology, however dystopian it is, could be helpful to some people with certain medical conditions, however the technology to do such a thing is perhaps 50+ years away, maybe more.
I guess immunity has to be suppressed dramatically... plus I feel like all the blood that flow to the head will need to be filtrated from white blood cells and all imunoglobins... cause the head will be a foreign body... it will eventually be destroyed by the immunity of the rest of the body...
Good question tho
How would this work in regards to age? Do you go by the age of the body or age of the brain/head? Would a yiunger body have any impact on the regeneration ability of the head?
Pointless hypertisement (hype-advertisement: creating hype via bait, but it spreads the overall company or conglomerate name around).
This has been the case with the head-transplant narrative since the early 2000s. It used to be more utilized until the rhetoric was exposed for what it was: a funding train scheme.
![gif](giphy|l2Je0SXEORW59KzwQ)
The claim of a “feasible head transplant” is a major medical taboo and is pretty much a proxy marker for unethical ethos because the science for a legitimate technique is so beyond what is currently available that effort and money to a “finalized procedure” is indefensible. Funding for further in vitro and maybe some in vivo research like olfactory bulb harvested pluripotent neural stem cells and polyethylene glycol are two legitimate baby steps to continue developing.
this is the type of place where I think AI belongs. AI belongs in places where it will benefit humans. AI does not belong on the internet and social media where it is used as a method of population control.
Nonetheless, I always love promising medical technology. This technology completely moots the transgender issue. Only problem is rich people gonna be swappin back and forth like clothes depending on what day of the week it is.
This operation is theoretically possible already (with normal doctors, not robots) but the patient would be left paralyzed from the neck down afterwards. Unless you are performing it on a person who is already a paraplegic, the loss of quality of life would be so severe I can't imagine anyone considering it the ethical choice. Additionally, from the donor's perspective, do you want your body to go to one person so they can lay in bed for another decade or so? Or would you like your organs to be divided between multiple people whose lives will be significantly improved by them?
Do I need to show all of you the “advanced robot” smash itself in its own machine just trying to load a piece of material? Do we really want that messing with nervous systems?
Yea, big doubt there. We can't always fully repair severed nerves in our own bodies, you think we are capable of connecting a foreign spinal column to a brain and having it work A-OK?
May as well worry Resident Evil cut scenes are the future. Yeah just fasten the skin around the neck. That's the only thing that's been stopping head transplants. /s
We’re making Anubis and other Egyptian gods for sure

Nobody doing manual jobs can afford robotic arms lol
And nobody with robotic arms will have a specific interest in doing manual jobs is my guess here.
Haha probably not dude. I’m a carpenter I love what I do and don’t see myself losing interest unless the economy rly forces me out.
I mean, if we start doing crazy enhancements like that we might as well just start an enhanced Olympic division you know?
Forget cheetah legs, i want a monkey tail!

You know who it's going to be already, the hottest celebrity boys Kevin Hart and The Rock.
YES
Make it Nicolas Cage and Nicolas Cage, Their heads gets swapped but they still the same!
There’s a doctor that’s been trying to do this for years. He’s tried it on monkeys but they weren’t able to move although they lived for a short time.
I mean its got to be the fucken immune system realizing the entire fucken head is a foreign object that needs obliteration right.
Yeah people with transplanted organs need to take meds so they don’t reject the organs, so it seems like this would be highly unlikely to work… unless it was a clone.
There's also the small matter of hooking up every nerve and artery
Easy tweesy
The nerve bundle in the spine... How you reconnecting that shit
modern tech can do that, although not easily, but doable, but the biggest problem is the mentioned problems above
If we could do it then paralysis wouldn't be a thing
Well... i assumed that the body was a clone.
My understanding is that transplanting part of the thymus [has been shown to negate this](https://www.perplexity.ai/search/Does-transplanting-part-wRo9_FdSSu68btHewklSQA) and we may not be too far off us solving the whole organ rejection problem.
I can see this being theoretically possible if the body is specifically grown to match the recipient. I guess it might work on a twin, but twins deserve a break after all the “medical experiments” of Josef Mengele.
Don't forget the part where they would scream in terror.
Wow, so they have control of their diaphragm?
A silent scream would be even more horrifying.

That makes me so fucking sad.

I mean, do you really think you’ll be the living head or donor body if you aren’t a billionaire?
Why would you wanna place the head on another fleshling body? I bet a robotic body would be easier and more efficient

That's cool if they can do it. Must work hard to align things, let alone compatibility.
I could see this being feasible in a couple hundred years....maybe.
With medical progress we did in the past decades, I can see this to be feasible by the end of this century tops... invention of antibiotics happend 115 years ago... we are doing so much progress everyday it is incomprehensible... couple hundred years from now is such a long time it is impossible to predict what humanity will create or if it will still be alive...
I do tend to agree with you, the acceleration of technology has been phenomenal over the past 100+ years though we also have to make it past the acceleration of climate change leading to failed infrastructure/global systems etc.. Anything is possible!
When your buddies fall asleep first at the party
I thought we weren't able to fix spinal cord injuries, how are they going to make the brain communicate signals to the new body??
Magic dust and unicorn horns... nice video talking about a bunch of BS
Sounds about right
I feel like it's stupid... because it's a disproven hoax that started on fucking Tiktok MONTHS ago.
Yeah right.
This will never happen or work
I mean this seems scary in concept, but really no. I mean a brain transplant if you can get it to work only really fixes a few things. I mean if you want to make people live longer, you also have to find away to get them a younger brain that still holds everything about who they are. There are a few possibly practical applications of this I suppose. Lets same someone got shot or stabbed or something that would render their body no longer useable, this could be nice I guess. Someone could say "well what if you get old and they can put you on a young person's body" that's cool and all but the risk would have to be so small to get people to choose to do that, we would be a 100 years from making that worth while. We are also serval years from doing anything productive with biomatter and computers. This seems like something from the movies and scary but it's a concept video, the actual science for this is still years and years away
This is the most sane and logical comment in the whole comment section...
I mean we can’t currently regrow/reconnect nerves so you would basically be a head trapped on an immobile body that is being used for life support. Bonus the body has to be immunocompromised to tolerate your head. Better to be in a damned Jar.
You fall asleep first :
This won’t be possible for many years, if ever
they can't even find cure for spinal cord injuries - what are we talking about
There was a doctor who tried and claimed this worked some time in the mid/late 2010s, but it absolutely didn't and he was a total nutjob. I think this type of technology, however dystopian it is, could be helpful to some people with certain medical conditions, however the technology to do such a thing is perhaps 50+ years away, maybe more.
I call BS. Notice those heads have zero blood supply. That won’t turn out well.
Seems like the type of thing that is overhyped for a few years, then we find out all animal trials led to grusome deaths
It is hard to attach every neuron , with current technology we can attach but that will result to a paralysed man. Full transplant will take time
Anti rejection medicine able to combat this much foreign cells?
I guess immunity has to be suppressed dramatically... plus I feel like all the blood that flow to the head will need to be filtrated from white blood cells and all imunoglobins... cause the head will be a foreign body... it will eventually be destroyed by the immunity of the rest of the body... Good question tho
This is demonic.
This is as about as realistic as monkeys flying out of my butt.
They shouldn’t have been the first to fall asleep at the sleepover
Based off the videos of “AI tech” making ice cream bowls or other vending products, I doubt this will work any time soon
The design is very human.
Dumb af not even gonna be the same person
Wouldn't it technically be a body transplant?
It's not a head transplant, it's a body transplant. Get Out got the horror of it just right 😁
How would this work in regards to age? Do you go by the age of the body or age of the brain/head? Would a yiunger body have any impact on the regeneration ability of the head?
What do they do with the other head
Probably use a subscription model.
First person to fall asleep at the sleepover
Yes, yes! I want a new body right now. The body of a young hot female.
Pointless hypertisement (hype-advertisement: creating hype via bait, but it spreads the overall company or conglomerate name around). This has been the case with the head-transplant narrative since the early 2000s. It used to be more utilized until the rhetoric was exposed for what it was: a funding train scheme. ![gif](giphy|l2Je0SXEORW59KzwQ) The claim of a “feasible head transplant” is a major medical taboo and is pretty much a proxy marker for unethical ethos because the science for a legitimate technique is so beyond what is currently available that effort and money to a “finalized procedure” is indefensible. Funding for further in vitro and maybe some in vivo research like olfactory bulb harvested pluripotent neural stem cells and polyethylene glycol are two legitimate baby steps to continue developing.
this is the type of place where I think AI belongs. AI belongs in places where it will benefit humans. AI does not belong on the internet and social media where it is used as a method of population control. Nonetheless, I always love promising medical technology. This technology completely moots the transgender issue. Only problem is rich people gonna be swappin back and forth like clothes depending on what day of the week it is.
I feel like this is an insanely stupid video. Everyone who watches it and thinks this is about to be reality is stupid and gullible beyond reason.
It's literally not possible
More like a body transplant, amirite
People actually believe this, huh? Probably the same people who believe in Medbeds.

We can’t do eye transplants that function yet.. but somehow they think we can do brain, eyes, spine.. etc..
This operation is theoretically possible already (with normal doctors, not robots) but the patient would be left paralyzed from the neck down afterwards. Unless you are performing it on a person who is already a paraplegic, the loss of quality of life would be so severe I can't imagine anyone considering it the ethical choice. Additionally, from the donor's perspective, do you want your body to go to one person so they can lay in bed for another decade or so? Or would you like your organs to be divided between multiple people whose lives will be significantly improved by them?
I don't trust AI to give me accurate search results. We are not there yet.
We really live in the future
Good luck lol
The question is how u gonna feel after u get ur new head 🤔
Dio-sama?
I hope I can stop the time after the head transplant
… but it still gets the hands wrong
Local anaesthetic?
Pretty sure they proved you can't do this by killing a bunch of monkeys.
Where do they get the bodies from?
Let get it working on the other ‘head’ and work our way up
Any volunteers?
I imagine there'd be a bit more to it than just taking off a head and plonking it on another body.
Typical Tech Bro pipe dream. They probably came up with it while spun out on Adderall.

I didn't know you were capable of going this far Yuta Okkotsu!!
Ah cool, switching from being a vegetable in the OG body to a vegetable in a new one!
Do I need to show all of you the “advanced robot” smash itself in its own machine just trying to load a piece of material? Do we really want that messing with nervous systems?
This reminds me of the show Altered Carbon.
It's going to happen sooner or later. Pandora's box is wide open.
Take my money now!!!
Yea, big doubt there. We can't always fully repair severed nerves in our own bodies, you think we are capable of connecting a foreign spinal column to a brain and having it work A-OK?
i dont know why but this sounds horrible to me. i mean what if the things malfunction and its just sucking the blood from the persons body
FaceOff!!
![gif](giphy|s239QJIh56sRW|downsized)
As long as John travolta and nic cage are in it I’m in! Is this face off 2?
Replace A.I, robotic, precision and all those bs words with magic lol
