Wow, I have always though about it as an sci-fi thing and never though to actually check if this is possible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8On7rktFZME&feature=player_embedded"]The First Brain Transplant - YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSrIkUXwsNk&feature=player_embedded"]Russian Dog Experiment - Living without a body! - YouTube Just, wow... It opens so much new possibilities. And this though that for 100% somewhere there, is a human head, decapitated and living. I don't believe they didn't tried this on humans.
