Extreme Brain Reanimation Sergio Canavero

In 2013 Prof Canavero announced the GEMINI Spinal Cord Fusion Protocol that would enable the first human head transplant. Experiments later confirmed its feasibility. In the last book of the HEAVEN trilogy, the author lays out the rationale for the most heady of experiments: bringing back to life a brain that has been "dead" for no less than 6 hours. While the first crude attempts hark back to the XIX century, research published over the past 50 years verifies that a brain is not irreversibly lost for several hours after cardiac arrest and that the possibility exists to "resurrect" it. The consequences of this new science are tantalizing, including the revivification of cryogenically preserved bodies.
