First full body transplant is two years away, surgeon claims

Wanna be 16 again knowing what you now know?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A surgeon says full-body transplants could become a reality in just two years.

Sergio Canavero, a doctor in Turin, Italy, has drawn up plans to graft a living person’s head on to a donor body and claims the procedures needed to carry out the operation are not far off.

Canavero hopes to assemble a team to explore the radical surgery in a project he is due to launch at a meeting for neurological surgeons in Maryland this June.

He has claimed for years that medical science has advanced to the point that a full body transplant is plausible, but the proposal has caused raised eyebrows, horror and profound disbelief in other surgeons.
SNIPPED (pardon the expression)
