Why can't we do skipper transplantations?

Why can't we do skipper transplantations?
They're working on it. Are you volunteering?
because there is no such entity as a transplantation
Head transplants have be performed near some success on dogs and some primates. By 'some success' I plan they managed to gain blood flowing from body to the grafted person in charge but not much else.
Sometime in the mid 20th century by a Russian scientist. [see sources]
I watch a documentary on the subject last year near some decent archive footage. Can't remember if it be on Discovery channel or National Geo. No refs.
Don't regard as you should sign up just all the same :) The answer to your question would be that we can't connect the twitchy system (attaching a severed spinal cord is not possible today).
Thus as a result of a manager transplant you would be a quadriplegic.
On the plus side being quadriplegic is much better than self dead so the transplant could be adjectives. However you will need someone to donate a body , your twin possibly :)
That depends partially on your definition of a transplant. They hold succesfully transplanted the head of one monkey to another monkey's body and gotten the chief to live for quite a while, however it be quadriplegic (no connection to the spinal column) and it's heart may enjoy been running from vivacity support... It was essentially just self supplied oxygen by a body that was not it's own. The complexities of the spine and nerves are such that we can't (at the moment/yet) connect split nerves hindmost together satisfactorily, is the leading reason I believe.
I don't know of that various donors.
