This Does Seem Like A Drawback
September 12, 2015 at 6:47 pm
Quote:The announcement of the surgery has ignited a fiery debate in the medical world. Ren and his team have done head-transplant operations on almost 1,000 mice since July 2013, the Wall Street Journal reported in June, but they have been unable to keep any of the mice alive for more than one day.

I wonder if Blue Cross/Blue Shield would cover it?

Should it be called a body transplant instead ?
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

And you thought the puking robot was a waist.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

Well sir, I have some good news and some bad news.

The good news is, you survived being decapitated, and we have placed your head on a new body.

The bad news...
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.

It's bound to become the preferred method for sex-change.

No waste if heads are paired via desired sex.
