You Read earlier on this Blog of a 30-year-old,Russian,Valery Spiridonov, who intended to become the 1st to undergo a Head Transplant after an Italian surgeon Sergio Canaver told him it was Possible and that it had been performed on a Rat before and was successful and even went on to outline the procedures he'd follow.

Val, who's paralyzed from waist down, had said he wants his head removed from his non-functioning body and installed on another person’s able body.
But now a top surgeon said Val will experience a death worse than death if he goes ahead with this such Tranplant;

"A Werdnig-Hoffman disease sufferer with rapidly declining health, Spiridonov is willing to take a punt on this very experimental surgery and you can't really blame him, but while he is prepared for the possibility that the body will reject his head and he will die, his fate could be considerably worse than death.”

"I would not wish this on anyone," said Dr Hunt Batjer, president elect of the American Association for Neurological Surgeons. "I would not allow anyone to do it to me as there are a lot of things worse than death."

Even if the transplant succeeds which is unlikely, several medical experts say the world does not even know what it will do to Val's mind.

"There’s no telling what the transplant - and all the new connections and foreign chemicals that his head and brain will have to suddenly deal with - will do to Spiridonov’s psyche. It could result in a hitherto never experienced level and quality of insanity". - the surgeon said
