An Italian doctors says the world's first human head transplant is "imminent". Whose head would you like to have on your shoulders?

Dr. Sergio Canavera will perform the surgery in China. The procedure will cost about $100 million, take 24 hours and involve several dozen surgeons and other specialists. He has successfully performed the surgery on mice and dogs and also on cadavers. Brave New World.

    That's awfully disturbing, why would I want someone else's head to take over my body?
    What happens to my head? Or do you mean they're just switching out heads but putting your brain in the new head? That's still weird and disturbing..

    No.  A whole new head Patch. Whether it will be successful or not it is certainly newsworthy and I agree with thee...very disturbing. You look in the mirror and see a stranger. You have the stranger's brain so I guess also the temperament and emotions. What about the memoies? I'm gonna ask that question. Thank you for your reply! :)
