don know, but if this can possible, human life can be extended because Brain is our harddisk so if we transplant the same, we can extend human life.

I'm not sure how this could be done but I don't think it's feasible to do such procedure. Once a brain is disconnected from a human being which also means.. blood supply and oxygen which are essential do its survival, the brain will be damaged. I assumed if a brain transplant is performed, the donor is either dead or... I'm not sure what the reason who is living fine and wants to donor his/her brain. Not only so, the brain is connected to the spinal cord... so if such transplant is performed, should the spinal cord be transplanted as well? This is too complicated for a human being or any technology at the moment to handle. I doubt though that it is possible at all. So I think the answer is no, it's not possible to transplant a human brain.

grey matter transplants have been around for like 20 years, but so far as a whole brain into another body... the only ethical way you could do that is to put that brain into a giant robot... and while surjery has progressed to the point where this is possible, our giant robot technology hasnt

Sure it is,,,ZZZZZZzzzzzzzzz.
Haven't you seen every version of Frankenstein???
It's possible to transplant other species brains, but I suspect it will end in a burial.
Dude you gotta get out more, get away from the SCI FI channel

hhmm...interesting. I heard there is this possibility some government not to mention here is researching about that. But as far as I've heard, it's not getting anywhere, and they're just concentrating on cloning instead.

I don't believe that has been ever successfully done.
I'm sure scientists are working on it, but all have surgeries like these have proven fatal or have simply left the person a vegetable.

Nope, however, current research that will lead to the cure for spinal cord injuries may eventually allow it ...

it would be a waste of everyone's time
there is no way you could save most of the neurons and the connections would not be made again.
essentially it might as well have been in a jar
or mike tyson's belly

There is probably some cloning lab in Korea or China working on this one... in the meantime, you can ask Frankenstein.

Granny on the Bevery Hillbillies was going to preform one on Jethro but we never learned if she went through with it.
