Would it be medically possible for surgeons to ?

Question

remove your head and put it back on the wrong way round. ?

Discuss.

Answer 1

No, they could not repair the damage to the spinal cord.

Answer 2

not just yet but keep on watching:

So upon reading this it seems that with new anti-rejection drugs that  yes they could swap over a head, and the body you have attached it to could keep the head alive. As at the moment they can not reattach nerves, the head wouldn't be able to control the body at all. All the body becomes is a pump for the blood so the whole exercise become fairly pointless.

Answer 3

I think perhaps Meryl Streep would be able to tell you.

Answer 4

Impossible, because to remove your head a surgeon has to sever the spinal cord, and there is no way that they can reconnect it. You would die.

Answer 5

i guess u might be the product of that operation!!!

Answer 6

im sure if they kept all the veins arteries etc in place and just turned the head it might be possible but i dont know about blood loss and all that. and the law!!!???

Answer 7

no because they could not re-attach the throat and arteries leading to your heart, not to mention the spine!!! i mean its not like the could just buy a vein and artery double coulored extention in ikea and operate. Plus the brain would die very soon from lack of oxygen (they can keep the heart pumping if its attached to a machine).

now that i think of it..where did that question come from???

Answer 8

Nope, your head has your brain and your brain not being connected to your body would stop your heart (and everything else) which in turn would stop the brain.

Odd question though lol
