As stupid and ridiculous as it sounds, Dr. Sergio Canavero told the world at the end of 2014, that head transplants would soon be possible. Valery Spiridonov could be the first man to do it too. If this doesn't sound like science fiction to you, check out Dr. Canavero's TED talk below:

Valery Spiridonov was born with Werdnig-Hoffman muscle wasting disease, and he told the Daily Mail that he wanted to be the first to receive the treatment.

Head transplants have been done before in the 70s and to monkeys by Dr. White. They could not breathe on their own because their spinal cords were not fused together but they retained their sight, hearing, taste and touch. Nine days later they died.

Canavero plans to pick up where Dr. White left off, and will use polyethlyene glycol to fuse the spinal cords. It had better work, because it sounds like the worst kind of torture to go through. Those poor monkeys!

Many believe the procedure to be impossible. Is Dr. Canavero Dr. Frankenstein?
