Dog Head Transplant - Video [GRAPHIC]

Yes, but you have to think how was the hole in the heat cause?

Stress mainly, smoking and drinking coffee probably didn't help either, but I don't really why this is relevant, he was saved due to the efforts of a skilled surgery team and modern medicine practices.

True, it isn't right 100% of the time, but nowadays we can cure things that 100 years ago would have killed us.

I'm all for the natural method of healing, I personally don't use any prescribed drugs unless I fear for my health in the long run or I am in phenomenal pain. For example, I've had a horrible stomach ache for the last week, but instead of pumping myself full of drugs and wasting a doctors time, I simply grit my teeth and deal with it.

Not to get off the point though, some things we are better off letting our bodies fight naturally, colds, the flu, headaches etc. But there are some things where modern medicine is literally our only hope.

For your stomach ach you should take a teaspoon of applecider vinegar it kills bacteria from bad food and other things, tastes a bit discusting at first, but is instant remedy and is harmless.

wow that is very strange, and by the looks of the quality of the video that was done quite a long time ago,

as some of us 'boomers' recall, there was a rumor/legend that the Russians, aka Soviets, had transplanted a dog's head back in the 1960's...
the dated film (way before videos) might just be that 'event'.

i recall how odd it was that the Soviets were using dogs for experiments & space flights...while the Americans were going with chimps & monkeys
for altitude & space experiments

which begs the questions, were the Soviets queezy about using test subjects that were very anthropomorphic, and used dogs instead ?
But the former Nazi scientists that formed the backbone of the US
programs were steel nerved about humans distant cousins?

think of all the stress tests, impacts, temperature extremes, rocket sleds,
centrifical force machines to artifially create forces as much as 10X Gs...
etc....(but all following SPCA guidelines??)

Is this a hidden, unmentionable, & just another case of
"The Ends justify the Means'

food-for-thought

Heh... modern medicine... get the flu, be unable to keep even the tiniest bit of water in your stomach, get severely dehydrated with a temp of 104 and say no to IV fluids... I dare yah. There's a reason something as common as the flu isn't so deadly anymore. Modern Medicine.

Many pharmaceuticals come from natural sources. Take Tamiflu for example... something so many people have been up in arms about. What is Tamiflu made from? Pine needles.

Many drugs are just chemicals found in nature that have been extracted and purified.

As for this dog transplant... I don't think it applies much to the medical field except for the "we did it" aspect. Sure, you could weld someones head to another body to save their life, but unless you could reattach the spinal cord (I am aware of the stem-cell argument, but I am also aware that you are more likely to grow a tumor than new useful tissue from current stem cell technologies) they would just be a head with a useless body, a respirator, a defibrillator, and all the other equipment needed to maintain the bodily functions the brain normally controls. Personally, I'd rather be dead.

Look here for similar ATS thread!

Personal Disclosure: I might just allow a close family member who was semi cactus to have their head sewn to my body for a limited period if a garanteed replacement body was soon to be available. I might even give them direct control of an arm [to scratch their nose etc] even though that might lead to some truly hilarious but painful three stooges slapstick scenerios! :shk:

Gemwolf, this was where the Lower astrals thread was headed when I decided that it was just too much for several readers. In the 'boxes' I saw these types of experiments that had been done on individuals that were marked in history as MIA.

It is a horrible situation when we see this type of technology used against earthlings in this manner. I did not watch the video btw, I know what it is and have seen this before.
