Anyone ever heard of science Swamp Rontek (head-end)? This high-level science supposedly controlled by Pitung, Betawi warrior legend. He is immune to all weapons, even a severed head can still be connected and alive again.
If that kind of mystical supernatural powers, but not for medical science today.Shocking news came from Italy. A project called HEAVEN announced in the journal Surgical Neurology International, grafting or transplantation of human heads closer to reality.
In the journal mentioned Dr. Sergio Canavero outlines the procedure to take the head of the donor and implanting them into the body of another person.This step involves the induction of hypothermia and spinal cord nerve cut with 'knives ultra-sharp', so it can be fused with the bone marrow donor.
"It is, of course, completely different from what happens in clinical spinal cord injury, where damage and scarring inhibits regeneration," wrote Canavero.
He described a hypothetical scenario, in which the donor is brain dead person menglami. He said, the recipient can be anyone who is in a terminal condition, because of cancer or anything else that left his brain in the intact condition.
To transplant the head, the two operations should be performed in the same space, in which both the spinal cord will be cut simultaneously to then immediately connected, glued together with a substance called polyethylene glycol, or PEG.
Since 1950
Actually head transplant is not new. According to records, the first time this has happened in 1950 when a Russian doctor tried to transplant the head of a dog.
In 1970, Robert White, of Case Western Reserve University (CWRU), test-tried on monkeys. The animal could survive with a new body for 8 days. Weakness, the new head of the monkey has no control over the body of a new nerve.
Various efforts to repair terjai years later. Transplantation experiments in mice can control the nerves of the bladder and diaphragm. Two chemicals chondroitinase and FGF used to provide incentives reconnection process. In addition, PEG laxative (polyethylene glycol), and even melatonin is also used to help regenerate nerves.
Back on the experiment results Canavero in Italy, some progress has been achieved. Splicing head in the coming years is not impossible. However, the biggest obstacle is the readiness of the people on this revolutionary breakthrough.
"The problem is not related to technical issues, but ethical," said Canavero reported] ABCNews.com. Furthermore, according to the results of the operation the doctor will create a 'chimera', mythological creatures, and collided with the ethical issues are complex - for example, the patient will lose genetic trait or a genetic donor.
When cloning in humans is still being debated in many countries, how modern science rontek this swamp?
