I'm sure we could manage it now, but it would be disgustingly inhumane with the methods available to us... The real problem with doing that is repairing nerve connections, plugging everything back into the right spot :-)
(look at the back of your computer, multiply that by about a billion and take away the color coding, that's your task...)
*edit*
I think the point is transferring the brain for continued survival of the person to whom the brain belongs, not the body...

I think that this could possible be done. However it would be perminately DRUNK, with terrible equilebrium due to the different body, and ones development of being and body relationship.
Major relearning of mobility if possible.
I would think the hardest part would be keeping a heart going.
Another issue is any human wiring which passes electrical current MAY be different from person to person. So trying to join cut wiring from 2 people may not meet up the right pathways.
Possible. But sounds like Nazi, or Frankenstien experiments and should be banned for the sake of humanity if you ask me.

Possibly one day, although I don't think many people will want that because it would be an entirely different person. You can transplant a lung and the person is still the person they were before, but a brain is a completely different person.

In order to find the answer to your question , let us consider the following.
Take two fully functional and fully loaded computers with different programmes ; Computer 'A' and Computer 'B'
Now ,remove the hard disc of Computer 'A' and replace it with that of Computer 'B'.
Now is the computer 'A' is still 'A' or it has gone a 'personality' change?
Same thing will happen with a brain/head transplant.

Brain and other parts of our body communicates intelligence and this is because intelligence is not ALL on brain, but distributed on every part of our body.
Intelligence is not an organ but a function and this is why it will be impossible because the function depends of organs that the function itself constructs from a single embryo.
Maybe you could get alive an organ, but the function will be not there anymore.

I have seen pictures of it done on animals...I don't think the animals lived longer than a few hours. Most likely it has been attempted in humans, somewhere by now, but what would be the point of doing something like this? For eternal life? I can believe some mad scientists or governments doing secret experiments like this.

Possibly, eventually.
Not really possible now due to various issues but in say 10-50 years time with various advances it could be possible.

Its 100% immpossible....with the current medical technology.Maybe in the future they maybe able to do so,even science allows it i'm sure that it will be banned.

I know quite a few people who are still waiting for their original brain.
