Surgeon aims to ‘thaw out’ frozen human brains and transplant them into living bodies by 2020
A controversial surgeon aims to thaw out frozen human brains and insert them into living donor bodies – and claims he will do it by 2020.
Professor Canavero is Director of the Turin Advanced Neuromodulation Group in Italy, has already said he will perform the first-ever human head transplant in China within 10 months.
Sergio Canavero claimed in 2016 to have already achieved success with a dog – who, he claims, was able to walk again after having its spinal cord completely severed.

In a new interview with Ooom, he says he will attempt to revive patients who have frozen their brains in liquid nitrogen with the Alcor Life Extension Foundation.
Professor Canavero said, ‘ ‘We will try to bring the first of the company’s patients back to life, not in 100 years.
‘As soon as the first human head transplant has taken place, i.e. no later than 2018, we will be able to attempt to reawaken the first frozen head.
‘We are currently planning the world’s first brain transplant, and I consider it realistic that we will be ready in three years at the latest.
‘A brain transplant has many advantages. First, there is barely any immune reaction, which means the problem of rejection does not exist.
‘The brain is, in a manner of speaking, a neutral organ. If you transplant a head with vessels, nerves, tendons and muscles, rejection can pose a massive problem. This is not the case with the brain.’
