It is no surprise that the human brain is the most unknown part of the human body It make sure everything works so its no wonder people tried to figure out the brain but not in the sanest ways. One of There were many people who tried to make a successful head transplant in Russia in 1954 a scientist Vladimir demikhov who was a organ specialist how attempted to attach another dogs head to another body making a 2 headed dog which growled licked the hand that caressed it and panted and took in milk But only lived for six days after that dog passed Vladimir demikhov made many more transplants with the dogs lasting longer and longer up to 29 days for one of them this gave surgeons the hope of a head transplant. Which lead to the doctor Robert J. white where instead of giving a monkey 2 heads completely remove one head and replace it with another the monkeys body was kept on a type of life support to keep the heart and lungs alive when the head was alive and semi responsive able to make facial expressions.
All of these incidents lead today as surgeons try to fund the money and get the allowance to preform the first ever head transplant on a human being.
There are a few questions to these incidents.
Do you think these experiments are ethical?
And do you think they should go through with the transplant?

i beleive the thought is that people with disabled bodies will have the chance to have a normal life but i personaly dont believe there is a reason to go through experimentation and trial and error
No, in my opinion, experiments like these are not at all ethical. I don’t really see a point to it at all it is very dangerous and it could very much kill an innocent human being. I think that going through with the experiment is not a good idea at all. It is not worth it to possibly kill another human being for just a dumb experiment that won’t benefit anyone at all. I honestly think it’s worse than doing an experiment on an animal.
i dont agree with the it wont benifit anyone there are some people who could benifit but the qustion is if it is worth it for this small percentage of people
There doesn't seem to be a purpose for these experiments. If there was a benefit to a risky experiment then you could justify it slightly, but I can't see the merit in a two headed animal. The science behind it is absolutely not advanced enough to perform on humans. A two-headed human serves no purpose that I can think of, and switching out heads has not been done 100% successfully on animals.
there is a purpose for these types of surgerys the man voletering fot the surgery attempt has a disabled bodie the reason for these surgeries would be to give these people a better life
I think that it is very unethical and unsafe. Yes, there were some sucsessful test results, but it still just doesn't sit right with me. Just the idea of a two headed dog or a mokey with another's head is unsettling. I don't understand why they would even run these tests in the first place other than to see what would happen and what the outcome woud be. I do not think that anyone should go through with this experiment on humans.
yes i can agree that these are verry unethical and also unsafe because of the not so long life the animals had
