  • Just my opinion but this is the stuff that nightmares are made of. What if you woke up in someone elses body? It would be like a scene from a sick horror movie i think.

  • @kylecrs No if you are Stephen Hawking.

  • Robert J Wright was the first neurosurgeon that ever transplanted the full of 1 monkey into another. wow !

  • dude im scared.

  • brainssssssssssssssssss  brainsssssssssssssssssss

  • Pagans playing god

  • I remember reading about transplanting the monkeys head a while back. They put it on backwards(because it was easier) and boy was that monkey pissed.

  • so im guessing the monkey couldnt move any of his body parts, because as far as i know once your nerves have been cut theres no way to rejuvenate them.

  • @yourallbrainwashed actually is posible nowadays, sort of... There have been attemps of ripped fingers transplants and the same is done be thouse kinky robotic hands there are on the market, but yeah, that´s really simple compared to transplant the hole brain to another body

  • @deviroz wow cool!, ill have to look up the ripped fingers thing. and iv never heard of the kinky robotic hands thing before? do you know of any videos on nerve transplantation or nerve rejuvenation?

  • @yourallbrainwashed Sure, this one talks about one of thouse hands, it´s still on its early stages, but anyway /watch?v=X85Lpuczy3E ,

  • @deviroz

    People have transplanted an arm belonging to a different person onto someone else in the past.

  • i have a problem with this, in your brain, there are a lot of shit going on, including your conshiense, since i'm an atheist i believe in canchesness of this world is the only thin there is, SO to get back to my point, what if they remove your brain, keep it alive, and you actually regain canschesness

  • @lifemetall - I can understand why you have a problem with this. If a living brain could be removed from a subject and then kept alive, say in a jar, without causing brain damage, and it were to remain conscious, what kind of nightmarish existence would that be? Without any way to interact with the world, the disembodied brain would have no external stimuli, its experience would be totally internalised, it would be a living hell.

  • I have a question O.o if your brain will be on another's person body then wo will be alive you or the another person :|

  • @24199312 - There's no simple answer I don't think. Individuals are unique because of their experiences, memories and thoughts, and these all exist in the brain. However our actual body (below the kneck) is hugely important in defining who we are; it's the physical form we're used to, so any fundamental change to our body afftects our sense of self. Then there is the issue of whether you believe in a soul.. .

  • @24199312 Technically the cells of your body are constantly proliferating and undergoing apoptosis (cellular suicide, basically) - so it would be pretty tough to draw a concrete distinction of personhood that isn't arbitrary. That's really the fundamental reason we can't all agree with whether abortion should be legal or not, it's a question of whether or not the fetus has achieves personhood at conception, birth, or somewhere inbetween.

  • this is quite awesome, i hope i get to live long enough to see full human brain transplants! ( where the person doesnt become disabled)

  • When you understand EVOLUTION you can EVOLVE Yourself. This is whats happening with humans. We have started to understand Evolution so its our time to evolve our self. We have already started it with various kinds of Jobs on our body parts, artificial body parts, and genetic engineering, the next level of Evolution is is more powerful organs, Increased life span, Clones, singularity with Machines.

  • @manoharsinghbisht however we're also playing with nature and playing with nature is frankly not the best idea, sure it's fantastic to have those things for specific people who are currently suffering or need it but we should not mess around healthy individual and try to make them super-human.

  • Animal cruelty sucks dick. :(

  • Futurama all over again

  • @MrSacrafice

    If that's the case then, I guess we should celebrate all the murderers and rapists who merely follow this "natural order" of kill or be killed. Right?

  • So? if you transplant a dead mans brain to a body.. he gets new life?..

  • Our true selves is the brain. That is really what we are. The rest of the body is really a suit. A suit we have to live in in order to survive.

  • This is bullshit! We all know Jesus and his dad carefully and lovingly crafted each one of us out of dust. We all all special to God. He just likes to test his favorite creation through things like Cerebral palsy, childhood leukemia, AIDS, down syndrome, lymphoma and extra nipples. We have no right to mess with God's perfect design. He loves us more than you can imagine, and would never harm (or burn us for eternity) us as long as we believe in him and visit his house every Sunday. God bless USA

  • @darknlooking Awesome comment.

  • Clone yourself, wait about 13 years and BOOM brain transplant......though I'd imagine your clone wouldn't be to happy about that

  • One word.. Cyborg and well this can actually help many many people out as well but there is always the bad side of things and I feel like some will want a robotic body to live forever..like the elite.

  • @SUNNYRAINWIND and even if you could live forever i imagine life may not be so precious anymore if everyone born will just live forever and no one ever dies. Also the world would be severely overpopulated with robots probably within the next 100 years robots with human brains would make up the majority of the population. Someone who has lived for 200 years may also get very bored with life having probably achieved everything he/she could dream of.

  • @poopydoops83 Yeah I am sure the people who will be or are(we can't see whats behind the closed doors)doing this wont just give anyone a cyborg body to live forever. You might just have to agree to something maybe like the "mark of the beast" or be with the New World to do this. One down side might be that they keep the superb cyborg bodys and give us something similer but not as good like a body that would need an expensive tune up once in a bit and you really would have to work to live. Slaves

  • @SUNNYRAINWIND you cant live forever when you'll leave any organ alive. thats why human body is still inperfect, even if you transplant brain, it can get sick or damaged. robots not.

  • @poopydoops83 In the Anime Ghost In The Shell for example most of the force field is cyborg and most have only the brain left from their real bodys but if they where to leave the job they would have to return the parts to the gov and what is left? not much at all they would die without them. The new deus ex human revolution game also uses this you can see the trailer on youtube for it.

  • This guy is amazing.

  • if i could swap bodies, i would go on a pornstar, then ill be like: ah sweet! then i would like, not come out my house for a month for obvious reasons...

  • wouldt it be cool if you could breed another, younger you out of stemcells and let your brain transplant into it?

  • there are some doors science should not attempt to open for we cannot predict the outcome

  • I hope this will help me become an animal

  • @haideptrai101 me too

  • no way, this has to be bullshit

  • @100538 that's what people said about camera cell phones as well

  • Comment removed

  • Поверил - Проиграл нить стартует.

  • If everything we are is within our brains, What I wish to know is, was that brain we saw having a good time? or was there an amount of terror or some other discomfort? Was that isolated brain (probably a dog or monkey) holding the being of the creature intact? afraid? I don't think my cat would like to be so alone and terrified. I love the Frankenstien movies, but they should maybe just be movies.

  • @earFront

    I couldn't help but wonder that as well - what it would be like to be a brain without a body. No senses, only thoughts. Oh, and a bunch of hallucinations. The brain is addicted to sensation. If you undergo sensory deprivation, you will hallucinate. In theory, that brain could have created its own world. It could have believed it was seeing, hearing, and feeling things. Imagine what it would have seen.

    That is certainly an interesting thought.

  • How the fuck do I end up watching these videos? First I was looking at human cloning, then I end up at brain transplants.....

  • Steven Hawking having his brain successfully transplanted to a healthy body would probably be the greatest thing you could do for the world.

  • but doesn't the brain tissue just get old?

  • @DanielDaniel1 im looking for this anwser too so please tell me if you find it.

  • pure evil... protected and funded by the establishment...

  • It brings up a very philosophical question... If your brain was transplanted into another humans dead body...Who would you be? The brain in anothers body, or the dead headless body?Is "you" the appearance? If so, would you be someone else if you got a plastic surgery and changed your wardrobe right now? Is "you" the personality?Then who are people really mourning when you are dead, and your brain with your personality also is dead and gone?What if your personality vanished, would you not be you?

  • @Giesji Wow--you're totally blowing my mind--by which I mean you're bringing up questions that pretty much everyone considers by the time they're ten.

  • @AnimalAbuseIsUgly I'm impressed if you thought about that sort of things when you was ten, but I know a lot of people who barely thinks about that sort of things when they are 20...

    So... What's your answer then?

  • the human body acts all the time so stupid, this is just another example "it rejected the head"

  • Yeah, I know all of this stuff if probably possible, but why would you want a new body? I mean, imagine if you were in somebody elses body, how would your family react around you? Shouldn't we just find ways to heal every part of our own bodies instead of us going inside other people's. I mean that is kinda creepy if you think about it. I know I would not somebody else in my body, even after I die. I say we find ways to totally heal our own bodies if we were in some kind of horrific accident.

  • I NEED CLONE, HAVE 20 BUCKS..........

  • this is like remove a harddrive with an OS ( from old pc ) and placing it in a new pc.

    its the same thing but no were near complex.

  • dam nature you scary

  • Will this kill sexual reassignment surgery? I think it will, if combined with cloning. But what person would want a clone of themselves walking around?

  • I hope I can transplant some brain in me to increase my intelligence.

  • @Moh1Z Transplanting a brain into your body would not increase your intelligence. It would remove YOU from your body, and allow another person to control what once was your body. Your brain is yours. There is no changing that. Your brain is what makes you you. You can not take over someone elses brain, but if a brain transplant is possible, without rejection, anyone could have any body.

  • @RontoTheDog I know. That was a joke :p

  • 2:33 is what scares me the most. Imagine being that monkey. You see nothing then randomly you live again and you're in a new body with people around you.

  • Omg!! :( poor monkey

  • Brain Cells stop multiplying at one point, eventually, you're stuck with what brain cells you have left over until they all die. Maybe stem cells could be used to continuously regrow brain cells, or there could be some other cure, but otherwise it becomes at one point that you're just putting a dead organ into another body. I would also like them to try this on humans to see if personalities and memories are kept. Monkeys are relatively similar, and they can't tell us if they remember anything.

  • i found out about brain transplants from the novel Airhead, by meg cabot

  • Is this from a documentary? If so, what is it called? I'd like to see more on this.

  • Comment removed

  • @StarGazer3261997 Science requires loads of dead monkeys, get over it.

  • @StarGazer3261997 while I agree, this has great implications on our society if proven it can be done correctly. I would have been happier if they did it to a terminally Ill monkey versus a healthy monkey.

  • And my english teacher said it was impossible >:D

  • i actully think the brain would just die if you get old because everything rots i mean srsly lol

  • Is that brain in a blender??

  • I have a funny video response to this video but I can't post it as a response any more. Can you not do that any more?

    I guess you can check it out on my channel.

  • seriously no word..

    this is just great.. amazing.. lovely.. i wish if i could join you guys one day..

    this is life..

  • I sold my soul to some religious freak for a burger.

  • Soul or spirit is an idea of relgious persons who refuse to accept the fact that when you die , its like shutting down a computer . Its ok to believe if it help you but really our personality is just the equation of all the memories and experience we had in our lifes . We are just organic machines who evolved .

  • Wow

  • Bastardo assassino!

  • this is so wrong in many ways ,

  • Comment removed

  • The Russians don't "Like" the dogs for experimenting. There are too many dogs in Russia. You should see... Dogs use metros.

  • Biomechanics...

  • How awesome wouldn't it be to be able to get a body of the oposite sex and experience all those things you always wondered how they felt :O

  • @OilyTower lol i bet ur a teenager :P cuz i was thinkin the same way and im a teen too xD

  • @alexthesin3 naw i'm actually a young adult, there's seniors and juniors that shares the same thoughts even thou they are born in complete different time eras

  • @OilyTower That woudl be kinda interesting in a way.

  • If there was a machine that could scan someone's brain with 100% accuracy and save it onto a hard drive and there was another machine that could create an atomically identical copy of the scanned brain (by reading the scan), if the new brain (let's just say it's your brain), would you experience the wakeup, or would it be somebody else?

    I know you can't experience two brains at once (the original brain is still alive), so how does this work.

    Please tell me your thoughts.

  • @CommanderShepard2000 you would experience both, but separately. IF you define YOU as the consciousness in the brain. it all depends on viewpoints & definitions...

  • @CommanderShepard2000 you wont feel anything. its like having another person who looks just like you. because you would have no links, no connection at all to weach other. so i doubt you would experience 2 brains

  • Thumbs up if you thought this was some kind of bizarre parody? A mockumentary perhaps?

  • Funny how morality always goes right out the door when people invoke the all-important "Human Race." So I guess Hitler was right then---WHOOP WHOOP WHOOP---THIS POST HAS BEEN STOPPED DUE TO THE NEW INTERNET PROTOCOLS BANNING THE USE OF THE H-BOMB IN A RANT.

  • Please update this video's information section to include the source of the scene (I assume this is from a documentary). Thanks!

  • All energy is just borrowed energy, eventually we have to give it back

  • this could be the key to living hundreds of years if the brain was routinely transplanted before the body reaches 20 when deterioration begins and if stem cells could be used to repair the brain a person could technically live forever

  • @legend956 what if im over 20 years old and i wish to do what u say, what will happen?

  • @Aguroth thats when the brain and vital organs begin the 60 year deterioration mind you after 20 years your brain will start to go unless it could be possible to repair the brain with stem cells possibly in the next 30 years this could be a reality for those who could afford and wouldn't mind the moral ramifications

  • @legend956 Honestly i would only want to live for 200 years.Being immortal Would Suck for me.

  • I hope I can transplant my brain to a new body when I get old

  • @N33dM04rM3t4l whose body?

  • @mink5639 MWAAHAHHAHAHAHAAHHAHHAHAAHAHAA­HAAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAAHAHAHAHA!I Just love doing a evil laugh sometimes.

  • @N33dM04rM3t4l lol but your brain is then old too

    I hope to make a backup of my brain so I can live forever in a PC or a Mac

  • Comment removed

  • @N33dM04rM3t4l clone your self since every thing would be the same (so organs don't reject) just younger wait for your clone to grow than get a brain transplant :D...

  • @N33dM04rM3t4l You won't need to--- in the very near future, we'll simply be able to reverse the aging process through telomere therapy. Beast, huh?

  • People are afraid of this because this proves that we have no souls.

    Any Questions Christianfags?

  • @cheetaclaw we have a soul I bet my life

  • @ainteeeeeee Explain how we have souls. Do it. Enlighten me.

  • @cheetaclaw well if we dont have souls then life makes no sense

  • @ainteeeeeee Who ever said that life made sense?

  • Ok, enuf said on brain transplant..its possible. Now, how about partial brain transplant...as in grafting it?

    Then we can make an artificial genius...a bit of Michael Jordan's brain mixed with Lionel Messi's, and a bit more of Stephen Hawking's intellect grey stuff? (well if they died together...)

  • @PrinceOfPeace22 as far as i know i wouldnt work because memories and proceses are distributed on many parts of the brain, think of it as a fragmented hard drive. although less rational parts of the brain such as some glands could be used for replacements.

  • bullshit

  • Some alien sh*t

    

  • Hmm my questions are....

    1) What if I do a full brain transplant, won't I actually die and all that will be left is my memories and Identity in another body but that won't be me?

    2) i FORGOT THIS ONE BUT WILL SHORTLY BE BACK.

  • Comment removed

  • This is clearly fake, think this one out people... If this old geezer could take and swap heads on monkeys, why cant he repair a severed spinal cord? And for all you vegans, I bet you would eat your dog if you were starving and it were to save your own life, so if not then why not now? And then following your logic if you would eat your dog why not cow?

  • @dick1191 And using your logic, if i was starving and only had access to humans to eat, if not then why not now?

  • i honestly dont understand, its a freaking cow! they are to stupid to have any other purpose than to be food. and yes humans are the only species to drink milk past infancy however we are also the only species who have advanced this far, we are dominant and therefore should not be grouped in with other animals even when we ourselves are animals

  • @Plaguedmarionette What is the purpose of a gopher? What is the purpose of a manatee? An animal's worth is not determined by its use to humans.

    So if far-more advanced aliens visit our planet in order to harvest us for food, you would agree, given that they are far more intelligent than you? You are stupid compared to them, what use could you have other than to be food?

    Justification of killing via dominance is an animal instinct, what is it that makes human's different?

  • @bbeach1 hello this is my other channel, now let me clarify some things. i do believe in alien life, and i am positive that theres more advanced species out there HOWEVER the sheer distance our planet is from the next known habitable planet is so vast it would take multiple lifetimes to get here. basically aliens will NEVER visit us unless they are advanced beyond the laws of physics(which is impossible) so we wont have to worry about that. EVOLUTION REQUIRES SACRIFICE!!!!

  • Thats a pretty wild picture at the end

  • In reality, there is only 8% of brain needed to be transplanted. only 8% consist information about you; your identity and memory; the remaining is short memory, data about controling body, positioning etc etc

  • 1963 !!!!! good God!!! Can you IMAGINE HOW the world elites with billions of dollars are advanced TODAY in 2011??

    1) an elite person is 50 years old with Life Expectancy 30 years.

    2) They copy his DNS (clone) and implement it into life embrio

    3) new embrio is put into women and a new child is born

    4) when child reached 22 years old ("mature" age, all organs grown already), they transplant a brain from the elite person into that body.

  • do we have A right to do this to another life form? because they are lesser than us? we better hope there are no aliens out there incase we are the lesser life form.........

  • gettin a blowjob from an alien is more probable than this...

  • its cruel to keep a bodyless dog alive but it is pretty amazing

  • @kazoopilot

    Whos says souls/ the spirit are real?

    The only way we interpret the world is through our sense organs

    and all that gets processed by the brain

    It all in the head

  • @PhillipThunderGrunge I fuckingly hundred percent agree with you.

  • @PhillipThunderGrunge doesn't that mean we can live forever? provided we are safe out of dangers way we can live for many years?

  • @PhillipThunderGrunge only retards say the soul is real

  • @vzilberm only retards dont know the soul is located in the pineal gland

  • @AnteroX1234 I hope you're not serious. Do you even know what the pineal gland does?

  • @vzilberm yes i do, but looks like you only know about it from wikipedia. hahaah atheists always make me laugh

  • @AnteroX1234 fucking retard man. A) stop making implications and b) stop believing psuedo-science

  • @vzilberm keep making me laugh, retard

  • this could be the next step in manual human evolution

  • @PhillipThunderGrunge Biological modification:) Now that would be interesting! Bring on the Prototype:P

  • I have a theory about this.

    When the technology exists, it would be possible to for example...

    I clone a *dead* copy of my own body, but with no brain, or head. I then move the missing part into the clone. And I can stay alive for much longer.

    More or less what this video was about.

  • sounds like futurama

  • finaly finaly the key to enternal liiiffffeee

  • your body develops in conformity with your brain,....try attaching your brain to another body will result in total fail.u can trick your body in accepting a new lung/heart etc...but ur brain? srsly...

  • @KreepMan666 How can you trick your body? it has no mind,what u mean to say is you can fool your brain by replacing organs with others of the same type but you can move the brain? well ofcourse you can, it would have to have everything put back perfectly and in the right procedure but it can be done and i believe we will live to the day where it will happen, imagine how much more time we will be given to explore life and give correct knowledge to others/the young :)

  • @Aguroth dude,think out of the ignorance box,if some people say "its possible",giving their credits as scientists or whatever,does not mean it is possible...How can u even think it?, if u cut the spinal cord,or any nerves on your neck,all the fluids will flow out . If some1 breaks his neck,its instant death....be serious

  • that is some freaky shit...really cool though

  • one day human kind could live forever

  • One day this will be routine. Not anytime soon, but one day.

  • animal torture

  • @jigglyfidda125 test on humens or test on animal. you choose.

  • Perhaps the monkey-head transplant should be rather called a body transplant and the brain transplant (if possible) a whole body transplant. Crazy stuff. Well, this labeling would at least rid us of some philosophical struggles as whether the brain or the body of the person conveys his "identity"..... Very interesting. but poor monkey of course!!!!

  • I bet being a disembodied brain is painful.

  • @derman077 I don't know... Keep in mind that the brain itself does not feel, and that if it is disembodied it will not have nerves sending it signals.

    Then, the lack of nerves might create a phantom body affect... like phantom limbs... interesting to think about.

  • @Aprilshowersss That is a very good point I hadn't considered. I was thinking of the severed nerve endings at the base. Personally I can understand the complex nature of many wires sending data. I can only assume that the spinal cord has many channels. How does one go about getting that many fibers reconnected in just the right way so that the hand signals get to the hand and the foot signals get to the foot, for example. How does one reattach nerve to nerve after severing as well?

  • @derman077

    u just blew my mind. that would have to be the most painful thing possible.

  • holy crap. i could have never imagined such a thing as a brain transplant. holy crap. Subhanallah!

  • The only thing they did was cut and repair different sets of veins. How many monkeys and dogs died for something that they knew wasn't really going to advance the core problem of transplanting someones head?

  • The animals lives should have meant something, should have contributed to our knowledge in more than a "let's see what kind of crazy shit we can do" kind of way. I mean think about it. They achieved what they set out to do, they put a head onto another body. What area of science did that advance? They knew they couldn't repair the spinal cord. Organ transplants had been going on for a long time at that point. 

  •  I can't imagine a situation where someone would choose to be a head on someone else's body if they were still a quadriplegic, even if it's to escape a terminal cancer. I do a lot of animal research. As such, I really don't like the idea of wastefull animal research.

  • I find this kind of research almost pointless. It seems like the more important thing to deal with here is repairing the spinal cord after cutting it. So far, even today, that is almost impossible. So what if you put Stephen Hawkings head on another persons body, he'd still be quadriplegic and not in any better shape than he is currently in.

  • Also, along with my last comment...Why would you want to live in someone elses body who has already died? Or why would you even want to live in some other humans body? That is just gross!!! Sure all of this is probably possible because God created us all the same, but we all have different talents, intelligence, and abilities. This stuff is just freaky....

  • Okay, I am a Christian and this research that this professor did is beneficial, but at the same time it is very very unethical. You are who you are when you are born and you shouldn't go changing that. Why the hell would you want to live in someone else's body. Sure, maybe if your body gets damaged but your head still remains fine, they could transplant your brain but what about the soul? Does that get transplanted as well? This stuff is just freaky, you shouldn't go living in someone elses body

  • What is this soul nonsense? Can you prove there is a soul, can you prove that these things exist? No you can't all you do is take word for word what your religious texts say and believe it as an absolute truth, well guess what, it doesn't matter if you have an invisible ghost that gives you gold, a magical genie that can split a sea in half, or a zombie Jew on a stick, these are not facts, they are fairy tales. The brain makes you who you are, not your theoretical soul.

  • @kazoopilot

    cuz the soul doesnt exist

  • The brain would most likely reject the new body (or vice versa?) and this doesn't prove much about the soul because from what I know, scientific religious people believe that the soul lies in the pineal gland.
