Amazing Operation - whats next

[e600]

Just heard on the news that a man has had a hand transplanted, whilst he is not the first the doctors are hopefull that it will be a complete success, stating the largest barrier to recovery is the "mental" rejection of the limb.

What's next.... how about head skin graft for bald people?

[Eric Mc]

No way.

But how about a brain transplant?

Already happened....we have some of the donors where I work

Reminds me of the end of a courtroom story.

Lawyer: 'Is it possible that the suspect could be alive?'

Doctor: 'No'

Lawyer: 'How can you be so sure?'

Doctor: 'Because I have his brain in a jar on my desk'

Lawyer: 'But he could still be deemed to be technically alive, no?'

Doctor: :sigh: 'Well, he could be practicing law somewhere, yes'.

No, but we definitely have some people who are only a small step up from a minkey in the brains department.

I thought it was spelled Minke and that whales were fairly intelligent.

I think he is referring to Inspector Clouseau: "You have the brains of a minkey".

Wouldn't that be a body transplant?

Would the resulting person legally be the body, or the brain?

[Simpo Two]

I'd say the brain is the person.

How about revitalising your brain - very early days but this could end up being a cure for things like Alzheimers http://interestingengineering.com/index.php/the-be...

You haven't met me. There's one part of me that is responsible for most of my decisions and it isn't my brain.

If it's what I think it is, typing must be awkward...

Very slow, yes.
