In this episode, we'll discuss the history of head transplantation and recent medical advancements that might soon make the procedure a reality. Dr. Sergio Canavero is a very controversial figure within the scientific community. He's a cartoonishly boisterous neurosurgeon with 22 years of experience. Despite his extensive resume, many of his peers feel that his research is without merit, that human head transplantation is impossible, and that Canavero's ambitions have made him reckless. Other critics object to the procedure on ethical grounds. Listen to Kevin and Samantha attempt to discuss these topics as Tiny and John Long from the Earth Oddity Podcast do everything within their power to veer the conversation into the oncoming traffic of their minds.
