About this person
Sergio Canavero is an Italian neurosurgeon known for his controversial claims about the near-term feasibility of head transplantation - the grafting of a head onto a new body - in humans. He made headlines in 2015 when he publicly announced that he would perform such a procedure on a human in two years' time. In 2017, Canavero and colleagues performed a rehearsal head transplantation procedure on two cadavers, and he announced his intention to "imminently" perform the operation on a live human patient paralyzed from the neck down.
