‘We’ll try to bring patients back to life’: Surgeon plans to ‘revive’ frozen human brains by 2020

‘The first human head transplant will take place in less than a year, to be followed by the world’s first transplantation of a cryogenically preserved brain in three years’ time. That’s according to ambitious neurosurgeon, Sergio Canavero.

Canavero told German magazine Ooom that the procedure will take place in China in ten months. He also confirmed that the first head transplant patient would be Chinese, and not Russian Valery Spiridonov, as previously expected.
