A photo from open sources Valery Spiridonov, 30-year-old programmer from Vladimir, suffers from a hereditary disease of the spinal cord. A man in a wheelchair moves and has absolutely no hopes for recovery. Probably because of hopelessness Valery agreed to a very risky operation a head transplant, which he most likely will not survive.
Sergio Canavero, a world-class surgeon, agreed to hold it, often striking colleagues with heretical ideas. Still quite he recently claimed that such an operation is possible, and during the next two years, he will be able to prove this to the world of medicine, successfully having a head transplant.
And although the news of what kind of operation the surgeon decided, caused a wave of indignation among doctors around the world claiming that Spiridonov has no chance to survive, Valery himself firmly convinced that he wants to be on the operating table and experience fate “I’m not just scared,” says the Russian, “but, and very I wonder what might come of this. ”
Hunt Betger, Member of the American Association of Neurological Surgery, spoke as follows about the expected operation: “I don’t think that Spiridonov generally understands what he’s doing. There are things worse than death, and personally, I would not allow anyone to do with myself something like”.
It is planned that the operation will last at least 36 hours, and her the cost will be 12 million dollars. Valery will become a donor a person who died as a result of brain death.
