announced that the world's first hu- man head transplant was 'imminent'. They had just completed an eighteen-hour rehearsal on two human cadavers, and now claimed to be ready for the real deal: the transplant of a human head from a living person with a degenerative disease onto a healthy, but brain-dead, donor body. 1 Ren -a US-educated Chinese orthopaedic surgeon, was part of the team that performed the first hand transplant in Louisville in 1999. Canavero, an Italian, and former neurosurgeon at the university of Turin, is the more controversial, maverick persona of the team. In addition to many respected scientific publications, he published Immortal: Why CONSCIOUS-NESS is NOT in the BRAIN, which seeks to prove the existence of an eternal soul on the basis of near death experience, as well as two guides on seducing women. He also drops flippant references to Stalin or the Nazi doctor Josef Mengele.
