Truth Sentinel interview with Dr Canavero

I chat with Dr Sergio Canavero and I'm also joined by Seth and Phil to discuss the implications of head transplant procedures.

Italian surgeon Sergio Canavero says he will change medical history

He authored several books and more than 100 scientific papers. He directs the Turin Advanced Neuromodulation Group, a Think Tank for the advancement of neuromodulation.



Dr Canavero believes that the brain does not generate consciousness, but only filters it. His goal is to open the filter and see what lies beyond.https://www.theguardian.com/science/2015/oct/03/will-first-human-head-transplant-happen-in-2017

Canavero became famous around the world when he enlarged on plans, long cherished, to remove the heads of two people. One would be alive, with an ailing body (a paraplegic, say), the other newly dead or doomed (perhaps the braindead victim of an accident).

All of the evidence suggests that consciousness exists thanks to the networks that extend from the tiny spot on the brainstem to the two areas in the cortex. That information could be immensely helpful in targeting regions in the brain for stimulation

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consciousness

Consciousness at its simplest refers to “sentience or awareness of internal or external existence”.[1] Despite centuries of analyses, definitions, explanations and debates by philosophers and scientists, consciousness remains puzzling and controversial,[2] being “at once the most familiar and most mysterious aspect of our lives"

Chinese surgeon Ren Xiaoping says human trials should begin soon

The highly experimental procedures took place at Harbin Medical University in China. Both studies were supported by video evidence and published in Surgical Neurology International, a peer-reviewed medical journal based in the United States.
