ReplyDelete1. The Italian doctor who has claimed that he could transplant a man’s head onto a donor’s body. He is considered qualified because I honestly don't know because I can't find the answer.
2. It could take up to 24 hours.
3. Because has Werdnig-Hoffmann disease, which wastes away his muscles and means that his health is rapidly declining.
4. The cost is $15 million, and he says that that is a lot, but not compared to what pro football players make because they make much more. Although he is correct that more money should be going to hospitals for people's health, I do not believe that for this certain procedure.
5. The conspiracy centres around a number of coincidences between Canavero's story and that of Metal Gear Solid. Canavero published an article about the surgery, which he was then calling "Gemini", as an article two days after the launch of Metal Gear Solid 5, which featured characters called Gemini that had cybernetic heads.
6. I think the author put a picture of Frankenstein's head because when people think of Frankenstein they think like weird, scary, immortal, etc. and that's what will be thought of people undergoing this surgery.
7. I do not think this surgery should be performed. People live and they die; that's a fact of life. People need to accept the fact that they are going to have to die, so they shouldn't do any bizarre procedures, such as this one, to prolong their life.

2 The ACLU is involved with this case because they believe that the drones should be prohibited unless it is use by police that believe they will collect evidence relating to a specific criminal situation or emergencies.
3. Indiscriminate mass surveillance is a like situation when a black person is accusing a white police for discriminate them. With the surveillance, the black person can't accuse the white police for being racist.
4. The $250,000 drone that crashed into the lake. No, because accidents are common.
5. I agree because I think that the police department should do anything they possible can for our society to have a safe environment. For example, wearing surveillance camera on their body is an acceptable act because nobody would end up accusing them for discrimination.

ReplyDelete1. Sergio Canavero is an Italian doctor that has claimed he can perform a head transplant. He is qualified to perform this kind of surgery because he has claimed he can do most of the surgery in under an hour.
2. With the transplant taking one hour and the joining process taking about 24 hours, the whole procedure could take around 25 hours.
3. Valeri Spidonov volunteered for this surgery because he has Werdnig-Hoffmann disease, which means his muscles are wasting away and his health is in rapid decline.
4. Canavero justifies this to money that professional athletes make. In regards to money he is absolutely correct. I think that people will pay millions of dollars for entertainment such as sport but when it comes to medical research they are not willing to consider the cost.
5. Many claim that this is a marketing stunt for Canavero. They compare him to a character from the game Metal Gear Solid 5. Many say that the entire tale could have been created by the game’s creator Hideo Kojima.
6. I think the author choose to put the picture of Frankenstein to give the readers who have never heard or know what this is something to compare it to. It provides a reference that most readers are familiar with.
7. I do not believe that this surgery should be performed because of the risk factor and the ethics involved. I think this procedure is too risky and there far too much harm that can be done. In order for this to be a success every single denial has to go perfectly and those chances are very slim. Also, I think this is kind of changing what you are born with and what God gives you.
Mi'Asia Barclay
ReplyDelete1. He is a surgeon. Because he has many reasons as to why this would work and many different doctors are willing to help, and because he believe that its possible for it to actually happen.
2. 24 hours
3. Because he has Werdnig-Hoffmann disease.
4. That football players are paid 20 -30 million dollars and they should help him which is only 15 million dollars. Yes he is correct but I don't think this is very sensible to have your head taken off and put on a dead corps.
5. That although America beat Russia with the race to the moon they could be a leader because they put a person's head on another body.
6. He put a picture of Frankensteins head because that doctor put him together with different pieces of other people also so he is trying to make a comparison.
7. No, I don't believe the surgery could be performed because its many nerves that would have to connect and many of them probably wouldn't connect. It's really not logically possible.
Ashby Shelley
ReplyDelete1. He has vowed to go to China to perform surgery.
2. The procedure could take less than an hour.
3. He has a disease that wastes away his muscles, so he could experience something way worse than death.
4. He compares the price to that of football players, and no, he is not correct for this.
5. The whole thing could just be a marketing stunt.
6. The story of Frankenstein is somewhat portrayed in this article and has some of the same features.
7. I believe that the surgery is pointless, and he is just trying to gain attention and money from it. I do not think that this surgery is actually helping anyone at all..
Micaela Tierce
ReplyDelete1.) He is an Italian doctor and he is considered qualified because he has conducted hundreds of articles and papers and has led conferences on the supposed brain surgery.
2.) It will take less than an hour to connect the head but over 24 to finish the procedure.
3.) He has a disease that decays his muscles and bones causing his body to deteriorate quickly.
4.) He justifies that football players get paid 20-30 million dollars for simply kicking a ball around but the procedure he is asking for is only 15 million. Although he may be correct about how money is spent sometimes frivolously, it is sponsors who provide this money and they should be able to do whatever they want. If they don't agree with beheading somebody to prove some crazy doctor's attempt at being God then they should not be criticized for it.
5.) The elements of the surgery associate very closely to a newly released video game where human bodies have robot heads. The conspiracy is that it is a publicity stunt for the new game.
6.) To use alliteration to relay to us in simply turns how monstrous the idea is. Some people would just read this and get caught up in fascination of scientific advancements, while not realizing how inhumane it is and barbaric.
7.) Absolutely not. Clearly the way this man looks down on all other people when he discusses topics of church disapproval and others unwillingness to provide him funds, he has very little quality for other people. He is just power hungry and eager to say he was the person who created immortality. If this man was really interested in helping other people he would devote more time to researching and trying to find cures for diseases like the volunteer suffers from and less time talking down on other people who don't support his crazy scheme to become a very powerful and famous doctor.
Will Larsen
ReplyDelete1. Italian Surgeon. He is not considered qualified but he is the only one interested and is considered very controversial.
2. about 24 hours
3. He has Werdnig-Hoffmann disease which means that his body is deteriorating.
4. He claims it is for happiness and health. I do not think so I think it is for him to get his name out there.
5. There are several comparisons to a Metal Gear game. And they claim its by the same guy who created the game.
6. He is making a joke or reference to the tale of frankensteins brain being transmitted to the monster.
7. I will say for this case I think it can be performed. If he is going to die in his own body he might as well experiment with this new idea even if he does die. And since he is willing to do it and not being forced then it is fine. But I would not agree with this for every person.
ELLA NEUBERT
ReplyDelete1. An Italian Surgeon doctor. because he is looking for a way to get immortality
2. at least 24 hours
3. because he has Werdnig-Hoffmann disease and his body's health is rapidly decreasing
4. That his 15 million is only half of what the world pays a football player. His procedure can help all of mankind, while the football players only help themselves and are just there to entertain us. He is correct in his proceduring being worth the money
5. that it is all just a marketing stunt
6. To show how people have always dreamed of immortality and this being a possible way. With always one problem, no one will take the risk.
7. I believe the surgery should be performed. Many although believe this is morally wrong, but if the surgeon and patient both see it as right with knowing the circumstances should we not support them. Especially since such a surgery could help mankind extremely.
Jagory White
ReplyDelete1. He is the doctor that is said to be able to perform the first head transplant surgery.
- He is considered qualified because he can do it in less than an hour.
2. And hour at most.
3. Because he has a disease that makes his muscles fail so his health is rapidly declining.
4. He says footballers get paid that much. "Perfectly healthy bodies who can't kick a ball."
- Yes, because $15 million is chump change to professional athletes.
5. People say its just a marketing stunt.
6. Because Frankenstein is a world wide figure that everyone knows. And it represents the immortal being.
7. I do not think the surgery should be performed because immortality shouldn't be an option to people. It may interfere with people's religious beliefs but i don't see anything ethically wrong with it. Its just a matter of opinion.
Kalee Jones
ReplyDelete1. He is a surgeon. He has performed similar surgeries in the past.
2. Up to 24 hours
3. He is a 30-year-old Russian man who has Werdnig-Hoffmann disease, which wastes away his muscles and means that his health is rapidly declining.
4."I need $15 million. It's the price for happiness and health for a lot of people. But sponsors prefer spending money on healthy boneheads who can't kick a ball." He is correct people would rather pay fr ignorant things than to help others.
5.The entire head transplant story could be a marketing stunt.
6. To draw readers into reading it. This story ties in with Frankenstein because Frankenstein was dead and the person who is giving away their head is dead. Its like Frankenstein in many ways.
7. I do not think it should be. It is kind of gross, and could lead to medical issues.
Tempie Ennis
ReplyDelete1. He is the guy that is going to perform the first surgery to switch a head to a different body. He as vowed his life to this surgery and has studied it a lot.
2. The surgery entirely should take a little over 24 hours.
3.He has a very rare genetic spine disease and can not get around on his own.
4. He gives the example of how much football players get paid who are "healthy boneheads who can't kick a ball." They get paid around 30 million and all he needs is 15. Yes he is right because they get paid an outrageous amount for a sport.
5. A video game came out called Metal Gear Solid 5 and the characters have cybernetic heads. Also, Canavero published an article about the surgery called "Gemini" two days after Metal Gear Solid 5 published an article about the game call "Gemini."
6. Because the doctor tried to make Frankenstein come to life and as reported at the beginning of the article, Canavero says this surgery is just the first step to creating immorality.
7. In my religious view, I believe the surgery is wrong because God gave you the life he wanted you to have and you shouldn't alter in. But, if Spidonov is that unhappy, it is his choice to risk losing his life for happiness, even though the surgery and absolutely no guarantee.
Kali Sturgis
ReplyDelete1. Sergio Canavero is an Italian doctor who claimed that he can transplant a man’s head onto a donor’s body. He is considered qualified to perform this type of surgery because he has published over 100 papers and carried out full medical procedures.
2. The entire procedure should take under an hour.
3. Valeri Spidonov volunteered to undergo the surgery because he has Werdnig-Hoffmann disease that wastes away his muscles.
4. The justification that Canavero gives for the cost of the surgery is that he needs $15 million for the price of happiness and health for a lot of people, but people prefer spending money on healthy, untalented footballers. This justification could apply to numerous situations (more money to charities or medical institutions) but I only feel that he can be correct if the surgery ends up working out, but if it does not then it is a waste of money and effort.
5. The conspiracy theory that surrounds this procedure is that it is a marketing stunt where internet users have noticed the similarities between Canavero and a character from the game Metal Gear Solid 5. They claim that the procedure could have been inspired by the game’s creator Hideo Kojima.
6. The author probably put a picture of Frankenstein at the article's head to show the comparison between a fictitious tale and what could possibly become reality.
7. From an ethical standpoint I believe that if it used to benefit a person's health and/or regain back their previous abilities then it is all right. But, if it used solely to prolong one's life or bring a sense of immortality to a person then that is wrong because a person is only meant to live as long as their body allows them to.
Emylee
ReplyDelete1. An Italian doctor. He is qualified because he is a surgeon.
2. Less than an hour
3. he did it for science to see if it would work, and if it didn't they will have data to improve it for the future.
4. he said that football/soccer players were payed more per person than it would to fund the surgery. i agree that professional athletes are paid too much when they are just playing sports, but doctors are saving lives.
5. the conspiracy is that a video game artist is making this video and all up and it's just a sham
6. because Frankenstein was the first example of brains/ head being swapped and e wound up being a monster.
7. From an ethical standpoint, i don't think it's okay because it's like "playing God" and we as humans shouldn't try to change heads with people, because that's not how He intended it to be. However, we do have heart transplants and other organ transplants and ultimately is the decision of the person who signed up for the surgery.
Jon Owens
ReplyDelete1. Sergio Canavero is an Italian doctor who has claimed that he could transplant a man’s head onto a donor’s body.Hes qualified because he planned it out and can do the procedure in less than an hour.
2. It will take about 36 hours for the whole procedure.
3. He wants to make the first head transplant surgery happen and his body is slowly deteriorating.
4. He said it was for health and happiness for the people who want to prolong their lives. Im not going to say that hes wrong for what hes doing. He just wants to help people out. Im not going to knock the guy for making cash.
5. A conspiracy theory that surrounds this is all a big marketing scam.
6. The author clearly is against this man, mocking and taunting the guy with pictures and conspiracy theories to down play Sergio.
7. I think it should be performed. Science and Medicine continues to improve each day. So if some one has an illness, such as the current patient, then why not let Sergio perform the surgery. Then other doctors will know what works and what doesn't in order to improve the health of others that are in need.
Cameron Stone
ReplyDeleteHe is the surgeon performing the surgery. He is qualified because he is a neurosurgeon who is willing to perform it.
It can take up to 24 hours.
He volunteered because he has Werdnig-Hoffmann disease.
He justifies the cost by comparing it to the salary of pro athletes and I kinda understand it because it is pointless to pay that much for people who contribute nothing but entertainment to society. But then the surgery should only cost as much as it is worth.
The conspiracy theory is it could be a marketing stunt for Metal Gear Solid.
A picture of Frankenstein was put because Frankenstein was a mixture of different parts much like this person will be after the surgery.
I don't believe this is ethical because we should all die at some point. Nothing is immortal and it should never be immortal. And for the rich to be immortal someone else would have to die.
Addie Melchior
ReplyDelete1. He is an Italian neurosurgeon. He has studied this kind of surgery for a long time and seems to know what he is doing.
2. Around 24-25 hours.
3. He has Werdnig-Hoffmann disease which causes his muscles to waste away quickly and for his health to rapidly decline. Since this surgery gives him a chance at a better life, he is willing to take it whether it works or not.
4. He says that the surgery will cost $15 million which seems like a lot, but football players get paid $20-30 million a year for just playing football. This surgery is pricy, but it could potentially help a lot of people.
5. It revolves around Canavero's story and the game Metal Gear Solid 5. They say that many of the things that Canavero is claiming to know about his surgery are very similar to things found in this game. Canavero even named an article "Gemini" soon after the launch of the game Metal Gear Solid 5.
6. To give the reader an incite to what the article will be talking about. He uses Frankenstein because that process is very similar to what Canavero is trying to achieve and also to show how crazy this operation.
7. It does seem like it could really help people, but I do not think it should be performed. By switching heads with someone they are losing who they really are and that just does not seem like a life anyone would want to live.
Amber C. Price
ReplyDelete1.Sergio Canavero is an italian doctor surgeon who claims he can switch a mans head to a donors body to save him from a disease and he is considered qualified for this because he is a surgeon and has it planned out.
2.The entire procedure will take up to 24 hours.
3.Valeri Spidonov volunteered because he has werdnig- hoffmann disease which is wasting away his muscles so his health is declining fast.
4.He says it will cost $15 million for the procedure and believes it is a political meaning and should have money spent on this procedure and try to invent immortality instead of on football players who can not kick a ball. I can see what he means and it would be nice for money to be spent on useful things but football is entertainment for people and a time where people hang out with their family even though i do not really care for football but you never know if the procedure will even work.
5.The conspiracies surrounding this procedure is Canavero's story and the story of Metal gear solid.
6.I think the author put a picture of Frankenstein because the procedure is like Frankenstein's story because they are trying to take a ill man's head and put on another person's body and hope he can live and it to be successful when everyone knows you can not bring someone back from being dead especially if you take their head off.
7.I think it is a waste of time because if you takes someones head off their body they die and trying to connect it to another person's body will not work because the head will not be able to stay up on it's own and the fact that it will be broken and will not work with the different body because it has not properly grown to that body and many things could go wrong.
1. Sergio Canavero is an Italian doctor. He I said to be able to do this because he is the most familiar with transplants.
ReplyDelete2. The process will take at least 24 hours.
3. Spidonov volunteered because he has Werdnig-Hoffmann's disease which wastes away his muscles, basically meaning that his health is rapidly declining towards the point of death.
4. He said that athletes get paid up to $10 million dollars more than the surgery costs, therefore, he is stating that it costs less to extend a life than to play a sport.
5. The conspiracy theory is that the whole surgery idea is a marketing stunt.
6. The author put a picture of Frankenstein's head to compare this process to the mythic process that mad scientists endured to create Frankenstein.
7. I think that it should be performed because the surgery will be revolutionary if it works. Opportunities like this should not be halted. This is an opportunity to extend lives and I think the surgery should be carried out.
Jessica Lewis
ReplyDelete1. Sergio Canavero is an Italian doctor who volunteered to perform head transplant. He is qualified because he will be performing the surgery in China.
2. The procedure will take 36 hours to complete while the surgery will only last less than an hour.
3. Valeri Spidonov said that it would be for science. Even if it doesn't work out, the data collected through the surgery will help with medical research later on.
4. It's for the happiness and health for a lot of people and folks are already paid $20-30 million a year for playing a football game.
5. The theory is immortality.
6. It symbolizes the bringing/continuity of life, such as Frankenstein's monster. (Frankenstein is the guy who brought him back, gosh darn it- not the monster itself.)
7. No, because there are other ways to allow people to live happier and healthier lives than replacing an entire body that once belonged to someone else.
London Williamson
ReplyDelete1. Sergio Canavero is an Italian Doctor who says he can perform a head transplant. He is considered qualified to perform this surgery because he says he can do most of it within an hour.
2. Approximately 24 hours.
3. He has Werdnig Hoffmann disease.
4. He says that he needs $15 million to carry out the procedure. People believe that his surgery could just be a conspiracy in order to get this money.
5. It is similar to a video game called Metal Gear Solid 5.
6. I think the author put a photo of Frankenstein at the article's head because this procedure is an experiment and no one know if it will go right or wrong, just like Frankenstein.
7. I believe that if the guy has done his research and it is logical that the procedure should be performed. If whoever is participating in the procedure is willing to do it then I see no wrong in it. As a christian, I could see where people would not agree and believe that it would be wrong to perform the surgery. However, I do believe that if it was that bad and went against God's plans then it would not happen.
Trent Ray
ReplyDelete1. He is an Italian doctor who wants to perform a head transplant on someone. He has performed operations before and has written over 100 papers.
2. The entire procedure will take about 24 hours.
3. Spidonov has volunteered because he has a condition that deteriorates his muscles, so he thinks a new body will allow him to live longer and happier.
4. He justifies it by saying that football players get payed $20-30 million per year and he only wants $15 million to perform a revolutionary surgery. He has a point, which is that professional athletes get payed a lot of money just to play sports. I think they should be payed less and people like teachers should be payed more.
5. The theory is that the whole thing is a marketing scheme for a new video game called Metal Gear Solid 5. Doctor Canavero and one of the characters resemble each other greatly and there are characters in the game that have metal heads.
6. I think he put the picture of Frankenstein on there to bring up the thought of freak experiments and bad consequences of them in the reader's mind.
7. I do not think it should be performed because it has never been tested on other animals. Also, it could have a result that would be worse than death according to one doctor. On top of all that, we have no idea how the soul of the person would be affected by the procedure.
Drew Forrester
ReplyDelete1st period
1.) Sergio Canavero is a surgeon and he's qualified for the possible head transplant because he says he can perform the transplant in under an hour.
2.) The full process could take 24 hours.
3.) Sliding volunteered to be the test subject in the surgery because he has a muscular disease that is killing him and this may be his only chance.
4.) Canaveral says that he should be paid $15 million because football players see paid more even though some of them don't do anything. He's right on that matter and if he's successful, he will break scientific boundaries and will have definitely earned the pay.
5.) There is a few people who believe that the transplant is a major marketing stunt.
6.) In my opinion, the Frankenstein picture on the article is going to show that this seems like a crazy move and could end in disaster.
7.) On an ethical basis, I think the surgery shouldn't be performed by any means. Sure, they may be a chance of saving Spidonov's life but the odds of actually succeeding are slim-to-none and with the slightest miscalculation, Spidonov will be permanently dead. The whole operation seems wrong.
My Luu
ReplyDelete1. Sergio Canavero is a Indian surgeon. He is considered qualify because he can do the procedure less than an hour.
2. At least 24 hours
3. Valeri Spidonov volunteered because his health is rapidly declining from Werdnig-Hoffmann disease so this procedure will either safe his life or give him death.
4. $15 million dollars. No, because football players are getting paid $20-$30 millions for running around with a ball and he believes it's not fair.
5. Marketing stunt similar to the character from the game Metal Gear Solid 5.
6. The author put a picture of Frankenstein at the article's head because in the story of Frankenstein, Victor Frankenstein created a life but then horrified of what he had made. The picture of Frankenstein was a way predicting Canavera's procedure if he were to performed.
7. Ethically, I believe that this procedure should not be perform because Sergio Canavera is taking a massive risk on something that's never been perform in history before. Yes, there have been head-transplants from animal to human before but human to human would be the first if Canavera perform the procedure. This could be another Frankenstein story if something were to go wrong.
Abigail Long
ReplyDelete1. He is an Italian doctor, because he claims he can help people reach immortality.
2. around an hour to attach the head but, totally 24 hours to get everything finished.
3. he has a disease that degenerates his muscles, meaning he is slowing declining in health and getting ever closer to death.
4. he says "mindless" people get paid more than that for kicking around a ball and that's the mere cost of a life of happiness for some. if someone believes that their happiness in life can be bought and have a price on it, then he is correct.
5. a game called "Metal Gear Solid 5" has a character who is very similar to Canavero and they think this whole thing was made up by the game's creator.
6. because some think that this procedure he's trying to do is similar to the Frankenstein story, so he is directly comparing the too, also since he calls it "monstrous" he is inferring that Canvero's procedure is too and he doesn't support it.
7. If they are able to do this without killing who they operate on, then I don't see the difference between it and a transplant. However, there are a few other questionable variables around the situation such as: where do they get the new body they attach the head to? how will the person who's body that used to be feel about it being used that way? some might see this as unethical because it does in a way manipulate both bodies involved and can been seen disrespectful.
Adrianna Boyd
ReplyDelete1. Sergio Canavero is an Italian surgeon. He is considered qualified because he has the entire procedure together & says that it would take less than an hour.
2. The entire procedure would take up to 24 hours.
3. Valeri Spidonov volunteered because he has Werdnig-Hoffmann disease and his health is declining.
4. The justification Canavero is that it's the price for happiness and health for a lot of people. Yes, he is correct because it helps people with diseases able to live a longer life than expected.
5. The conspiracy theory that surrounds this procedure is that it is just a marketing stunt.
6. I believe that the author put the picture of Frankenstein to represent how this procedure is basically like Frankenstein. It involves the head transplant.
7. I believe that this procedure should not be performed. Yes it could save a life, but also induce the death of one. This procedure just doesn't seem humanly possible.
1. Who is Sergio Canavero? Why is he considered qualified to perform this kind of surgery?
ReplyDeleteAn italian doctor who thinks he can transplant a man's head on a donor's body. He has published over 11 papers and have done good medical procedures.
2. Ultimately, how long will the entire procedure take?
1 hour
3. Why did Valeri Spidonov volunteer to undergo this surgery?
He has Werdnig-Hoffman disease and his health is dying away.
4. What justification does Canavero give for the cost of the surgery? Is he correct? Why or why not?
He needs $15 million dollars. It then becomes a "why not" statement because football players get paid $20 million to $30 million dollars a year. He does not like football and calls them "slackers" and says "who can't kick a ball." He is correct because they get paid for entertainment and they are not doing anything to help save someone's life.
5. What conspiracy theory surrounds this procedure?
Metal Gear Solid; Gemini
6. Why do you think that the article's author put a picture of Frankenstein at the article's head?
Because Frankenstein's head was transplanted.
7. Ethically, do you believe that this surgery should be performed? Why or why not?
No, I do not believe that he should try this on a human first because if the procedure does not go through correctly it would have all been for nothing. I say he should try it on a monkey first or an animal with human features.
Brittany Davidson 4/30/15
ReplyDelete1) The doctor who is attempting a head transplant. He is considered the right one because he is trying create a political meaning.
2) Less than a hour is how long it will take.
3) He suffered Werdnig-Hoffman disease, where his muscles were rapidly wasting.
4) His compares it to the cost of how much footballers are getting paid. no, because that different career and football players are paid that much to win games but for doctors it totally different.
5) It surrounds the Medal Gear Solid story, who published the same story 2 days later.
6) The reason why is they are basically creating another Frankinstein by putting other peoples body parts on somebody to create immortal living.
7) No because that is just kind of unnecessary to take someones head off somebody else to create immortal living. If it is time for you to die it is time by the Gods will.
1) An Italian doctor who says he can transplant a head in under an hour.
ReplyDelete2) Up to 24 hours
3) Because he wants to prove its possible.
4) Football players make more money in a year than he will need to make a huge milestone in science. He has a point. Entertainment is valued more than knowledge sometimes.
5) It is all a stunt for money
6) It fits the title since its talking about attaching heads.
7) If the patient wants to take the risk then yes it should be performed. But I do not agree with it. Why would you want to change yourself?
Sarah Snyder
ReplyDelete1. He is an Italian scientist that is banned from doing this procedure anywhere but China.
2. He claims it will take less than an hour.
3.He has Werdnig Hoffman disease
4.15 million. He thinks that it is the right amount because this procedure is keeping people healthy and happy, while football players are getting paid more.
5.Hideo Kojima, a game creator, could be just putting all these comments on the internet and this not be real.
6. This relates to Frakenstein almost exactly. The crazy scientist creates a monster, and that is what Canavero is doing.
5. I believe that God put us on this earth, to have our time and then to die. After you die you get to go to heaven. The world is Hell compared to Heaven. I believe that were all sent here for a reason, but that reason is to eventually join Christ in Heaven. Not only do i think this bad in my faith, but just wrong in a logiv sense. If people dont die, and people keep being born, the world will overpopulate and have to many people. There is a reason why we have death, and as sad as it is sometimes, we need it
Jaida Minor
ReplyDelete1. An Italian surgeon; because he has the procedure together and says much of it could be done in an hr
2. The procedure would take up to 24 hrs
3. Valeri Spidovov volunteered because he has Werdnig-Hoffmann disease
4. It's the price for happiness and health. Yes, he is kind of correct because it can make people with disease live longer.
5. It is a marketing stunt.
6. I believe they did that because this procedure is much like Frankenstein's procedure! Both are given a longer life!
7. I think the procedure shouldn't be performed because he could get into a lot of trouble, for example with the Chinese, even thought it would help the lives of the sick
1.He is a Russian doctor trying to attach a man's head to another man's body. Because he is a doctor.
ReplyDelete2. "Less than an hour"
3.because he has a medical condition that has his body constantly degrading
4. He says that football players are paid more than this surgery and this surgery may cause happiness instead of foolishness with sports. If the operation can potentially make someone able to walk or stand Correctly, then I think he is completely correct.
5. That it could be a marketing stunt.
6. Because it's the same concept as recreating a human and it is scary for many people.
7. I think the surgery should not be performed unless completely certain it can be done successfully and let the man live a better life. If the man with the disease can live with a new better body, then by all means.

ReplyDelete1. An Italian neurosurgeon; he is considered qualified because he is a brain doctor.
2. Longer than 24 hours.
3. He has a disease that has his muscles degenerating and this could save his life.
4. This costs less than football players get paid, and he is correct because this is more important than that.
5.That it is all a publicity stunt and that he got it all from a video game with the same idea.
6. They were trying to show that the tale may actually be coming to life because that's exactly what hes trying to do.
7. No, because there are too many risks but yes because this could potentially save someone's life and the man is already dying anyway. But I do not believe it is possible to put someone's head on another's body.

ReplyDelete1. He is an Italian doctor. He has claimed he can do a head transplant.
2. I will take less than an hour. And then it will take up to 24 hours for joining.
3. He had Werdnig-Hoffmann diseas which wastes away his muscles.
4. $15 million- he says it's the price if happiness. It is like football players getting paid $20-30 million. If you have the money and you are miser ale with some kind of disability, then I think it's your option to risk your life in hopes for a better year.
5. It could all be a story created by Metal Gear Solid 5's creator Hideo Kojima as a marketing stunt.
6. When people think about head transplants and making someone immortal most of their thoughts go to Frankenstein. It also attracts people to the article.
7. I think people have the freedom to undergo a surgery like this if they choose. They are risking their own life.
Riley Holmes
ReplyDelete1) He is an Italian doctor. He has studied it and is a surgeon.
2) The entire procedure could take up to 24 hours.
3) He has Werdnig-Hoffmann disease and his health is declining.
4) By comparing it to the money spent on football. No because while the money is wasted on football it Is also being wasted on a procedure that may not succeed.
5) They say it is an marketing stunt by comparing it to a video game company.
6) It is there because many people see this surgery as something that would come out of sci-fi book/movie.
7) No by putting someones head on another person's body that person is no longer the same. Also it is giving away another persons body.

ReplyDelete1. Canavero is an Italian doctor who is going to try to perform a head transplant. Him being a doctor and being able to speak at a conference about it is what makes him qualified.
2. Less than an hour
3. He has Werdnig-Hoffmann disease and his health is rapidly declining
4. He compared it to football players who receive more than $15 million just to throw around a ball. I do think he is correct because I believe that compared to other professions (military, police) professional sports players are overpaid.
5. Metal Gear Solid
6. Because they are both major medical procedures and both seem very science fictional
7. I do not believe it should be performed because God gave everyone one body and so you should just keep the one you have. I also think it isn't right because of how much the patient can suffer as a result.
Caitlin Lavender
ReplyDelete1. Italian surgeon. Because he has planned it all out.
2. Up to 24 Hours.
3. Because he has Werdnig-Hoffmann disease.
4. he wants 15 million dollars for surgery in general instead of giving them to the football players who just run around try to kick a ball. yes because its better to use the money for medical reasons because it could save lives.
5.Canavero's story and that of Metal Gear Solid.
6.Because he is trying to recreate life just like in frankenstien.
7.no because once a person dies they have the right to remain peaceful for the rest of eternity.
Morgan Fomera
ReplyDelete1. A doctor who would like to transplant a head onto a body. He already has a sketch and knows what to do.
2. 24 hours with a team of doctors
3. He has Werdnig-Hoffmann disease which waste away his bones
4. Comparing it to football. That people play 20-30 million to run around and slack versus only 15 million he needs to carry out "happiness and health".
5. A number of coincidences that surround the date such as Gemini.
6. Immortality is what Frankenstein is which is what many people believe he is trying to achieve.
7. No, this is not apart of human nature. You were born with your body not to have your head on someone else's body. And why should you get someone else's body that has died. There is something wrong about that.
