In the history of human medicine, the head transplant is unprecedented. Sergio Canavero is the surgical doctor in Italy, he successfully carried out the first head transplant in history, he spent 18 hours transporting the remains of one body to another and linking both blood vessels and nerves. But medical people say it wasn't successful because they bodies he operated on in 2017 were not a live.

"Criminal Trailer" is the movie that people who changed their brain, and they will be the different person. This technology is almost same than the movie, but the fact movie technology is more reality. When I see this news, I just think of this movie, I think they are very similar. The movie is very creative and imaginative, also our technology has advanced a lot.
In addition, people beside Sergio Canavero say according to Canavello's conveice, first step of the surgery is cooling of the head and body for transplantation to about 12 to 15 degrees Celsius to slow the rate that the cells die. the second step is the neck of patients and donors will be cut off at the same time, and the large blood vessels will be connected by artificial blood vessels, then promptly transplanted to the donor's neck using a type of medical "glue" that connects the spine together and stitches both muscles and blood vessels. After four weeks of the patient's healing, a weak current is also used to stimulate nerves in the cervical spine to strengthen the connection between the head and the body. Canaveiro said that once the operation is successful, the patient will learn to walk within a year with the help of physiotherapy and learn to adapt to their new body, including feeling the face and even speaking in their original voice.

Head surgery process
In 2013, the subject of their surgery is a mouse, the result of the experiment is the mouse just alive for a few minute. In 2016, they do two animal, they try the monkey first, they put the monkey head and another monkey body toghther, but it was just alive twenty-four hours. And they do dog, they cut off a dogs spine and redo connect it, the result is very good, the dog can walk again. In 2017, they do two surgery, too. They do mouse and remains of the body. in the mouse surgery, they change the surgery ways, they put the small mouse head on the mbig mouse, it alive thirty-six minutes. It reminds me of the movie " Frankenstein".

Do you think this technology will be successful in the future? If this techology has success what influence will it have? I think if this technology has success it has helped many people, like if some people can't move their body, they can cut their head and change to the dead persons body it will help people be alive. even though it is kinda scary, like from a horror movie, I really support this technology.
