Controversial surgeon Sergio Canavero (pictured) announced plans to do a human head transplant earlier this year - horrifying many</strong><br/><br/><strong>What with ‘designer’ babies and genetic engineering, we have become accustomed to developments that previously would have been banned as ‘Frankenstein science’.</strong><br/><br/><strong>Nevertheless, the revelation this week that a monkey has received a head transplant using a technique that is almost ready to be tried on humans retains its power to shock.</strong><br/><br/><strong>Neuroscientists in China are said to have taken a major step towards that goal by decapitating two rhesus monkeys and connecting the head of one animal to the other’s body.</strong><br/><br/><strong>The news was publicised by Sergio Canavero, a controversial Italian neurosurgeon and associate of the Chinese team, who said the success of the new method used paved the way towards a repeat operation — involving humans.</strong><br/><br/><strong>‘The news is not so much the monkey transplant,’ he said. ‘Everyone in the media is saying: “Hey man, it’s a head transplant on a monkey” — but this has already been done 40 years ago.</strong><br/><br/><strong>‘The important news here is that the critics of this new method have been totally disproven.’</strong><br/><br/><strong>Why is this significant? Because Dr Canavero is the same man who sparked a global storm last year when he revealed his determination to attempt a human head transplant.</strong><br/><br/><strong>He is planning to remove the head of a patient with muscular atrophy and attach it to a freshly decapitated donor body, to give his volunteer a physically fit body.</strong><br/><br/><strong>British experts in surgery and ethics were quick to condemn the proposal.
