Woran macht er den Erfolg fest? Sie haben erfolgreich einen toten Kopf auf einen toten Körper genäht, da wächst doch nichts mehr zusammen und man kann auch nicht wirklich die "Funktion" prüfen
Diese Masche zieht Canavero schon seit Jahren durch, d.h. er lässt sich für Erfolge feiern, welche bei genauerer Betrachtung eigentlich keine sind. Ein Gastautor beim Guardian hat das mal recht gut zusammengefasst:
For instance, he recently claimed to have “successfully” performed a head transplant on a monkey. But did he? While the monkey head did apparently survive the procedure, it never regained consciousness, it was only kept alive for 20 hours for “ethical reasons” and there was no attempt made at connecting the spinal cord, so even if the monkey had survived long-term it would have been paralysed for life. So, it was a successful procedure, if you consider paralysis, lack of consciousness and a lifespan of less than a day as indicators of “success”.
[...]
Canavero seems convinced he can do it, but thus far he’s offered no feasible explanation or science for his claims to be able to overcome these hurdles, beyond some token stuff about preserving tissues and ensuring blood supply during procedures. That’s a bit like someone claiming they can build a working fusion reactor and, when asked how, explains how they’re going to plumb in the toilets for the technicians. Arguably a useful step, but clearly not the main issue here.
