view this link and tell me if it's real and if brain transplantation is real?

people are we seeing the link?

Thanks for the links - I saw the whole thing.
I suggest you change your perspective a little and view the problem from another angle. Look at it this way ..
The brain is a permanent storage device for memories just like the hard disk of a computer.
It is initialised when we wake up or even when we sleep by a Read Only Memory which is encoded into our genetic code.
Random memories are stored in the peripheral area of the brain and are not stored permanently - most of them are erased when the current is shut off to the Cerebrum ie when we fall asleep or into a coma.
The memories are stored as holographic images which gives the brain the capacity to store more images than we can encounter in our lifetime i.e. a storage capacity rivalling the best computer storage hard disk ever made - because holographic imaging storage techniques are still in their infancy on earth.
So with the evolution of technology to the level of being able to record the memories stored in the brain - to do the reverse would be the next step.
A clone would be grown out of a single cell and a brain would grow in the clone and at the right time - the memories would be loaded into the brain of the clone - and he would be you in every way including memories of your entire lifetime.
BUT Sadly it appears to be impossible today to transplant a brain and in the future some day - there will be no need to transplant one - they will just grow one ...

Nope.
Here's the skinny on transplantation. It's a real pain.
With organs, you usually have only a few major arteries and veins to attach and you're OK. When you attach nerves, usually same deal, you need to attach a few nerves for it to work.
The brain, on the other hand, is the most complex organ. Besides the many blood vessel connections, you have endless specific nerve connections. Medical science does not yet know the specifics on which neural paths lead from the top of the spinal column to the desired location.
And, before you ask, no, this couldn't even end up in a quadraplegic; after all, the brain does control heartbeat and respiration.

I don't know. Science has evolved. Who would have though that people could have heart transplants? Lung Transplants? EYE Transplants. Think about it. There could be a possibility. Yeah, there are alot of nerves and whatnot to go through, but really. Who would believe Cloning? Anything is possible in the world of science.

what in the world thoretically yes it could if you put ever body organ on a dialisos machine to keep it running once a brain wat removed, but the real tricky part comes into connecting the spinal cord, can you do this no, if you could there would be no need for wheel chair becuse so one would have spinal cord injuries. so i would have to say this is a huge funtain of youth scam. you go to a foriegn country pay tons of money, never find the right donor or go to surgery and dissapear.

no way... theere are asimply wayyyyyy too many nerves, nerve endings, and just generally too many things that go into actually reattaching a brain to a brainstem , etc
even if it wre possible, it would take SOO long to do that the person would probably die on the table, and would certainly be brain dead anyways ... so there goes that idea right?

Not possible at all...at least not in this day and age. The brain is the power house..the capital..the life. Once removed, everything in this great city "the body" will shutdown instantly

well i doubt it but you can never tell, didn't the Christopher Reid foundation help make a lot of break through's in spinal cord research, who knows maybe.

I doubt it the brain is so fragile...
why would you want to do that anyway? personality would change wouldn't it/

No, it's not, there is no way to re-attatch all the nerves and vessels.

There hasn't been one yet, so the answer is no.
