Has anyone else watched the news about this today.

It said an Italian surgeon has found a volunteer, not sure if it's hoax or not.

Oh for real?
Some need a life

The story has been around awhile Mr.Joe. Makes one wonder if it IS a hoax. But anyway, heres an article from SkyNews from today....

"" A man set to have the world's first head
transplant has told Sky News the operation
does not worry him, adding: "We are
making science."
Russian Valery Spiridonov suffers from a
muscle wasting disease and is today
meeting an Italian neurosurgeon who
claims he can perform a head transplant.
Dr Sergio Canavero wants to transplant Mr
Spirodonov's head onto another body as
soon as 2017.
The proposal has been widely condemned
by other doctors. Some have suggested the
plan is an elaborate hoax.
Mr Spiridonov and Dr Canavero are
speaking at the American Academy of
Neurological and Orthopaedic Surgeons in
Annapolis, Maryland.
Dr Canavero has already outlined his
strategy for the operation in the scientific
journal Surgical Neurology International.
He will cool Mr Spiridonov's head with ice
to help the brain survive once it is removed
from its old blood supply.
The head will then be cut off and
reattached to the donor body in stages.
The biggest challenge will be fusing the
spinal cord, something that has never been
achieved before.""
