Because the Italian quack who's claiming he'll do this is full of ****. Modern medicine still hasn't advanced enough to reconnect the same spinal cord when it's severed, let alone connect two different ones.

Can you provide a link?

you're linking me to a site that's next 2 articles are "first succesful penis tansplant, and mans legs transplanted onto animals body" such credible sources

Really you could not just provide me a link of where you were reading it? Everywhere I looked online it says he plans on it in the future. Not that it was done before. My link was just a random one that I clicked on google. You have yet to provide your source of information. Seems like you just want to argue with me. Plans, first, and proposed are all words used here not completed or successful or anything that signifies that it was already done.. I do not doubt that any source is credible but when all of them seem to say the same thing I am sure there is some truth to it.

"The topic of Canavero’s keynote was a procedure he hopes to perform in the next 24 months, which he calls HEad Anatomosis VENture, or “Heaven”."

"Canavero plans to announce the project at the annual conference of the American Academy of Neurological and Orthopaedic Surgeons (AANOS) in Annapolis, Maryland, in June."

"Medical News Today reported that an Italian surgeon is to announce updated plans to conduct the world's first human head transplant within the next 2 years."

They didn't connect the nerves, though. Connecting blood vessels and thus giving the head a fuel and oxygen supply is easy peasy, but if connecting nerves was something we knew how to do there wouldn't be so many people in wheelchairs.

ONE TWO SENTENCE LONG BLURB ABOUT THE FIRST HUMAN HEAD TRANSPLANT IN HISTORY.

Not to vindicate Yahoo or to say that it's somehow good, but to be fair, this is old news. I heard about it at least a month ago, so it was probably announced a fair bit in advance of even that.

Not to mention that most physicians are highly skeptical and it's probably just sensationalist drivel, so it not being a major headline is probably not a bad thing.

They didn't connect the nerves, though.

It should be noted that they don't plan to connect the nerves in this case either.

I find supermarket tabloids fun to read, too, but that doesn't mean I actually take anything they say seriously.

Just because the website or other news source is usually credible doesn't mean you shouldn't keep your ***** alarm running.
