Surgeon

If one day you find out you need brain surgery and your surgeon's name is Sergio Canavero, cancel that surgery. Back in 2015 Dr. Canavero said it was possible, and that he wanted, to perform a full head transplant.  Sergio's cause was technically a righteous one because the man he was going to perform the surgery on had a form of spinal muscle atrophy. He was just trying to give the guy a better life, I mean yea he could've and probably would've died, but it's the attempt that means something right? A for effort, or something like that right?

I know you're probably thinking that Dr. Canavero used his big surgeon brain and decided he couldn't actually do the head transplant. Wrong. It took for the guy who was supposed to have his head removed and replaced to realize this was a horrible idea and the risks were too great. LIKE DYING.

Well modern day Dr. Frankenstein has decided that he's ready to transplant a brain from one human to another. He believes it has a real possibility of success. Somebody get this whacko out of an operating room. Listen, I understand that science and medicine is advanced by trying things and testing what works and doesn't work. Everything is a working hypothethis, but maybe certain things shouldn't be messed with...

Like whole head and brain transplants.
