Job titles of the future: Head-transplant surgeon
Neurosurgeon Sergio Canavero aims to perform head transplants to extend life by swapping a sick person's head or brain onto a healthier body, despite facing skepticism and criticism. Canavero, known for his controversial ideas, believes head transplants offer a solution to aging when other technologies fall short. He envisions creating brainless human clones for organ transplants and calls for collaboration among billionaires to fund his ambitious project. However, the complex and costly nature of combining technologies like surgical robots and artificial wombs poses significant challenges to realizing his vision.
