On the Science Channel on the show Dark Matters they showed the Doctor who transplanted monkey heads onto different monkey's bodies.

I would like to stay autistic but in a NT's body with a healtheir nicer body. Perhaps one with a nice six pack and pecks like the ones I once had when I was 18 and just out of Army basic training. :twisted: :wink:


I saw that too. Poor monkeys. I bet that doctor is rotting in Hell right now for that. Anyway once the spinal cord was severed and the monkeys were not able to breathe on their own or any basic life functions.


On the Lenard Nemoy show In Search Of they actually show old film footage of the operation and the monkey post head transplant.

I don't understand why people think it is okay to conduct whatever they cannot get away with on humans on primates, including monkeys. They are so similar to humans they should be protected and have the same rights. A monkey or ape either one cannot possibly consent to such procedures so they should remain off limits.

I think they should do medical experiments on child molesters, rapists, and criminals sentanced to death for murder. Let their deaths be of use to the societies they use to prey upon. We need to advance our medical knowledge why not do it while ridding the world of human trash that rot in our prisons.

I bet if you offered prison inmates better tasting food, cable tv, and congical visists with wives or girlfriends you would have a line out the door for volunteers for all types of experimentation.

No because I think living is more important than trying to fix yourself. Getting a new brain is fixing yourself.
