The mans a dick, did you see what hes been doing to try and prove you can repair spine breaks?...

He's been deliberately paralysing animals so he can practice, dogs and mice, if I ever meet him I may snap his spine and tell him to stfu and practice on himself.

Infact would just snap the ***** neck

Is it a head transplant or a body transplant?

To be fair the guy probably thinks win or fail is a good result at this point.

Great quote from the neuro scientist "“Of course there is a marginal risk"
Of what exactly, success?

Like it or not, a lot of very important medical research was carried out on animals. If you want to get really upset just take a look at what the Russians got up to in the back end of WW2 (and that's without discussing what the ***** did).

Take it you know that probably most of the cosmetic products you use are tested on animals?
Same with drugs.

Doesn't make it right.

I'm on about him cutting the spine of healthy animals, there are enough people out there now being paid to do medical trials for drugs and creams, all the previous dangerous **** is now known.

So in this day and age do we still need to do it to animals?

I'm not an activist but at least i ****ing care about the animals and from the sounds of you lot you dont.

Well lets cut in to your spine for the trials and see how you get on.....

No matter how much you pay someone they are not going to let you transplant their ****ing head you lunatic....

Yes we do need to do it still. Unless you and your ilk are going to allow us to test radical and dangerous unknown procedures and drugs on you?

I agree that animals must be used, even though I love animals To respond like that Glanza to a man who obviously loves animals is wrong.

I object to it being on dogs, it should definitely be on cats though.

So have I understood this correctly?


I can fit AVCS heads on my WRX so long as I've tested 'em first on a dog box and an old cat?

If you stuck a dog's head on a cat's body would the the head chase the body and the body try to run away from the head?

This has already been done with dogs many years ago in the Soviet Union.

Was going to post the link, but it's not really very pleasant to watch.

On YouTube if you're interested.
