When you've been Decapitated by a Surgeon with anesthesia and Put your head back together is it possible??

Question

When a surgeon cut your heads off and put it back with anesthesia so you can't feel the pain and they use Modern Instruments for surgery like that is it possible to do that??

THANKX BECOZ FOR MANY HORROR MOVIES I WATCHED IM TRYING TO ASK.

Answer 1

Contrary to what most have posted, doctors have transplanted a monkey's head to a body of another monkey with marginal success back in early 2000.

They are confident such procedure can be done to humans as well but just haven’t done it due mostly to ethical concerns.

Some argue that the procedure done was not a true transplant because although the subject monkey was able to see, hear, smell, taste etc, the brain and skull was still contained in the head and the body was merely serving as a circulation tool to supply blood, air and nutrition to the head. But as far as I’m concerned, that is just as much of a transplant as any heart, kidney or liver transplant… it just hasn’t been perfected. Recently, I believe the Japanese also have done a different type of head transplant on a rat where they sucessfully attached a head of one rat onto another rat with its own head still intact. (They basically made a rat with 2 working heads).

The majority of neurosurgeons believe that head transplantation in humans will be possible in the near future as well. It is not a matter of medical limitation but ethical one indeed.

No, that is something that can be done on film only. There are a million nerves, vessels etc. that you cannot reattach.

But who knows, maybe it will possible in the distant future. Some people are counting on this becoming possible. They are decapitated when they die and put their trust and hope in cryonics. Cryonics is the science of using ultra-cold temperature to preserve human life with the intent of restoring good health when technology becomes available to do so. They also believe that technology will be able to clone a new and maybe better body for them to attach the head to.

Scary thought, if you ask me.

Answer 3

Well sure they can sew your head back on but they won't need to use anesthesia because you are already dead and will not come back to life. With the way medicine progresses all the time though who knows what will be possible in the future? Maybe you should switch to comedy or romance movies. LOL

Answer 4

The problem is that all those nerves that make your muscles move for your arms and legs and your chest for breathing will never grow back together. So you will be a quadriplegic which is not a kind of life that people volunteer for so no one has elected to have that kind of surgery.

Just because it worked in a Frankenstein movie doesn't mean it will work in real life.

Answer 5

Absolutely not at this stage in science. Decapitated means your head is removed. As yet we cannot even fix spinal cord injuries, so it is not possible to reattach a head after decapitation. Actually I suppose they could but you'd either be dead or paralyzed.

Answer 6

This would require microsurgery way beyond our current medical abilities. Each nerve and vessel would have to be reattached, the brain stem and spine would have to be reconnected and allow nerve impulses to move back and forth, and somehow, the brain would have to be kept alive and viable for a prolonged period of time.

Answer 7

Head first

Answer 8

sounds like you've lost your head asking something so stupid. once your head is cut off your done hello

Answer 9

no of course not. I would think that cutting through the spinal chord would be really bad and unrepairable.

Answer 10

No...only in the cartoons
