Human head transplant. Who takes risks?
Successful homotransplantation[1] head[2] cannot become the greatest sensation of our time. I assert this as a specialist in the field of reconstructive surgery of the head and neck. Transplanting the head from one person to another body does not present any particular difficulties for the surgeon. This work is time-consuming, but it is possible. However the results of such transplantations are lamentable.
Today, they make a lot of complicated surgical operations, and write a lot about it. However, long-term results of unique interventions usually cannot be found. Why? The answer is simple. Because it's are often drama. We have here seriously technical and insurmountable biological hurdles.
The surgeon [in Greek χειρουργός - (read as cheirourgόs) from χέρι hand, wrist (read chéri) s δημιουργός create (read dimiourgόs)] is able to cut, cut and sew the bodies and fragments of different tissues in the new location. Surgeon can restore anatomic integrity of individual nerves and vessels using special seams. Brain and spinal cord percipient donor can be connected with a special adhesive. But this does not restore the system integrity of this pair. This phenomenon is irreversible because it accurately compare crossed pathways from the brain to the spinal cord cannot be. However, surgeons stubbornly continue such efforts.
The first such operation was planned to hold a paralyzed American neurosurgeon Robert White (Robert J. White, 1926 - 2010). But its death undoubtedly extended life to the potential recipient. Today, on the order of Russian programmer Valery Spiridonov, who suffers from the syndrome Verdniga-Hoffmann (G. Werdnig - J. Hoffmann). It is a genetic disease of the spinal cord, leading to severe muscle atrophy.
The operation is scheduled for December 2017. Serdzhio Kanavero (Sergio Canavero, born. 1964), an Italian neurosurgeon intends to head brigade of 150 doctors and nurses, who will conduct 36-hour operation. Project Kanavero "Head Anastomosis Venture with Cord Fusion (HEAVEN / HEMINI)" was released in July of 2013. True he complains, there is no 10 million Euros, or according to other data - 15 million dollars, that necessary for the organization of transplantation. It is not clear also where it will to do transplantation. He is considering options of the UK, Russia, Germany and China.
This project outlined a lot of problems, including the ethical, legal, biological, technical etc. Today, medicine and society are not able to solve them. But we know, there is a problem even more difficult than all these. This is problem of systemic integrity a new organism. It did not attract the attention of stakeholders on a number of circumstances, and, above all, by the systemic illiteracy of both the enthusiasts and prospective participants of the project.
According to the principles of systems engineering, body transplantation from one subject to another head of the entity irrevocably violates the systemic integrity of each. This is the order of relations between the donor and the percipient will be here. This operation is not able to create a new systemic integrity. She promises to create a rough analog anatomical model of the whole organism. This is not a viable chimera, which are a two phenotypically different organisms at all levels of the systemic organization. Only conjoined twins can be viable as they originally present the systemic integrity.
There is one more important fact. I have shown that disease management programs are written in the languages of the basic mechanisms of each organism. Each organism has in its phylogenetic memory of the programs of all illnesses, which arose at this stage and the programs of illnesses which arose during early stages of development of living. Man has the maximum possible number of the systemic (phylogenetic) levels from the protein to the advanced consciousness. Therefore a man has maximum possible number of programs of illnesses [3].
If we assume the fantastic probability of creating a systemic chimera from the body of one man and the head of another person with a serious illness, in the short term, the program of the disease show up in a new body. Such initiatives can only be exercised by a system of illiteracy, or by trickery. Dr. Kanavero moving in that direction. His plans also include cloning and rejuvenation of rich old men, and even immortality. This set is a sufficiently eloquent.
Since many people they participate in the operation besides Kanavero, personal responsibility for its obvious outcome is absent. This operation is a very expensive form of euthanasia for the patient[4]. I have shown in this material the fundamental causes of the impossibility of a favorable outcome of such an operation. This operation refers to ordinary medical speculation, and nothing more.
The doctor should to get possibility to block disease programs, including a variety of neuromuscular disorders. Only such technologies are really able to help these patients. Valery Spiridonov is a programmer; therefore he could take part in the development of such programs. I have prepared the necessary foundation for such works.[5]
