Isn't it odd that parts of our body are held in more reverence than others? Why is the head so damn important? We do heart and liver transplants.... we even transplant eyes. Why shouldn't a functional body be transplanted on to a head? Obviously, we should perfect the process prior to attempting it in a practical way, but still, why do people have a problem with this? Is it because the body being "harvested" would have to have be only brain dead prior to transplant? Interesting stuff.
