Who has not heard of Professor Dowell’s head? Many watched the movie, some even read the book. Roman A. Belyaeva Wikipedia defines both “fantastic” and “adventure”. So, “fantastic” from the characteristics can be thrown away. First attempts back in Middle Ages roving magicians entertained in city squares people trick with a talking severed head. (The focus is described in manuscript of 1584 “Exposing witchcraft”) Illusionists Excited the imagination of scientists. The first to revive a severed head tried at the beginning of the XIX century, the French surgeon Jean Laborden. In during the French Revolution, people were chopped off their heads more often than hens, so the Frenchman had experiment material in in excess. (I wonder what motivated them, scientific curiosity or the desire to find out the hidden secrets of the executed aristocrats?) His attempts ended in nothing, which is not surprising, taking into attention then level of development of medicine. Live fish head The next one who defied nature was Russian scientist Alexey Kulyabko. Understanding the grandeur of the task, he did not try to experiment with human heads, but took for experiments, simpler organisms. In 1902, Kulyabko successfully revived the head of the fish, leading to it through the blood vessels specially created blood substitute. The head turned its eyes She moved her fins and gills, opened her mouth, i.e. lived. Further the scientist could not advance, but for that time it was huge achievement. Dog experiments

In 1928, the Soviet physiologist Bryukhonenko shocked scientists of everything of the world, showing the head of a dog living separately from the body. Life in an amputated dog head was maintained with heart-lung machine, the so-called auto-projector which Bryukhonenko with the team was created over 4 years. Head reacted into the light, hearing the sound of a hammer moving her ears. When the laboratory assistant pronounced the nickname of the dog – moved his eyes. Smelling sausages licked and even swallowed a piece of cheese! Two minute shot a film about a severed but lively dog head in the West beat everything view ratings. And although the head lived a little more than two hours, before the experiments with the revitalization of the human head Little. Man In the 70s in one of the German clinics brought the body of a 40-year-old man injured in a car accident. The almost severed head was connected to the body with only a few veins, arteries and veins. It wasn’t even a question of saving life. a neurosurgeon, Henry Curidge and Walter Craiter, decided on experiment. They separated the head from the body, connected it to life support system and almost three weeks maintained in it a life. The head not only lived, but also thought. She couldn’t speak, but the movement of the eyelids, eyes and lips made it clear that he was aware of everything what is happening and even gave answers to some questions. What for it is necessary? Doctors are not fiends and not sadists. Saving life in the head separated from the body is just an intermediate stage in solving a more complex problem: a head transplant from one body to to another. Doctors have several times already sewed on a person almost torn off head. However, in all these cases, the body itself is not received no damage. If the heart is shot through, torn lungs, broken liver and lungs, chances of saving life no. Organs die, and after a few moments, the brain dies. But if you give your head a new body, a person will get a chance for a second life, in the future – and immortality. Our descendants will simply be change the decrepit body to a new one, like a suit. The experiments Professor White In 1973, Robert White, an American neurosurgeon, conducted a series of experiments, transplanting his head from one macaque to another. The heads took root, however, the animal owner the new body was doomed to immobility: to merge the nerve scientists have not yet learned the fibers of the spinal cord. “I’m my part “He did the work,” says White, “now it’s up to the neurosurgeons.” It’s pointless to keep life in the head without a body (if only not the head of a planetary genius). How many will agree to life of a “plant” without being able to move? Professor’s head Dowell believed that such a life is worse than death.
