A head on ice would be able to survive for a while, especially if prior to separation induced hypothermia is used to trigger the mammalian diving reflex, and drugs which limit brain damage from anoxia are used.  This may give as much as 30-40 minutes to work with a severed head.  If the dead body is in good shape otherwise, such as a recent death from acute head trauma, and is similarly cooled rapidly to prevent tissue breakdown, you could possibly reattach most major components in that time.  Regrowing the severed spinal cord would be the tricky part, but there is a lot of research going on that suggests it may be possible, especially if correct treatment of the severed spinal cord is taken immediately.  Stem cell grafts or at least application of specific growth factors will probably be needed to complete the connection.  \n\nWith arteries, muscles, skin, and peripheral nerve connections restored, the person could be kept on a heart-lung machine until the spinal cord is repaired to maintain steady breathing and heartbeat. \n\nSo, in short, it's plausible with near-future medical technology, but it's probably risky enough to not be worth attempting yet.  Within 10-15 years, it could be done.  \n\nThe real question would be whether or not the newly connected head could correctly control the body it's attached to.  There are some general levels of organization to the distribution of nerve fibers in the spinal cord, but the I/O pattern in the cervical spinal cord of the grafted head wouldn't be an exact match for the spinal cord in the body.  If the signals are mismatched, and they probably will be, the results could be anything from loss of muscle coordination and control to chronic severe neurological pain.  Whether or not the plasticity of regrowth would allow this to correct itself is unknown.  \n\nIt might end up being easier to graft the head plus spinal cord into the donor body, since the spinal cord to peripheral nervous system connections, plus the cranial nerve to body connections, such as the vagus nerve, are much simpler than the spinal cord.   If bloodflow could be restored within the 30-40 minutes working time this would give surgeons time to finish the spinal graft.  Recovery would still be very extreme, since the spine would have to be completely opened up, and successful recovery of such an invasive procedure is currently beyond our medical capabilities, but there is a lot fo work with artificial spinal disks, bone grafts, and other systems for repairing damaged vertabrae.  \n\nI certainly wouldn't volunteer to be the first patient, but it's plausble that one day it could be done successfully.

"The incision has healed well and judging by the radiographs, the graft is opacifying ('taking')," Richardson said. "Callus is forming nicely, and all of the implants (plate and screws) look unchanged."\n\nhttp://www.bloodhorse.com/articleindex/article.asp?id=34002\n\nHe's beyond the normal infection stage. :-) \nI also saw a report that indicated a possiblity that Brother Derek's front foot and Barbaro's hind foot made contact which could be a reason. \nWould sure serve notice to have Brother Derek checked out just in case IMO

No, it can not be re-grown. \nYou can have a bone graft. This is done by either an Oral Surgeon, or Peritonitist.

I have one too...gotta get an ex-ray next week...doc said something about a spur on the bone. Feel free to contact me next wednesday and I'll let ya know what he says.

No instant solution I'm afraid. I found relief by by putting a small electric blanket on it (hot pad). After three months I was due to have and orthopaedic surgeon operate on it but over just a few days it started to eventually get better. I was desperate, to the point of even looking forward to the operation. You have my sympathy. The worst consuming pain I have ever had, my triple heart by-pass operation was a doddle by comparison.

My Bro in law had a transplant 3 years ago (Heart). He worked thru the hospital and sent a letter anonymously to the donor family and eventually they agreed to meet with him. Your husband should be able to work out something similar with the hospital that harvested the organs

It is theoritically possible to clone a dinosur from its bones, however it would have to be recent bones to still have marrow cells in the, and since no dinosaurs have died recently then no, it is not practically possible. Plus, you would have to have a surrogate mother large enough to carry a dinosaur feutus to full term.

bone...got a problem with  someone

like die?  Transplants can only be done between creatures with similar dna.

It would depend on a lot of factors.  How much tissue was removed, etc.  As for the bone, if some of it was removed, as in an amputation, it will not grow back.  Follow your doctor's advice, keep it clean, and it shouldn't take too long...especially if you're a healthy person otherwise.  Make sure to eat healthy foods too...good nutrition promotes healing!

I don't think they've been doing them long enough to know. Technically there might not be too many issues considering the types of surgery around now. I think the biggest issue is the psychological impact on the patient - I am sure many people would not be able to cope as our appearence is so intrinsic as to who we are. Also I think it unlikely there will be many donors and it will be very difficult for the bereaved to come to terms with the possibility of a loved-ones face being used by someone else.

Absolutely not.  For one thing, transplants like that are often risky, resulting in immune responses to it.  Second, even if it did happen successfully, there is no point.  Muscles are simply cells of myosin and actin filaments contracting.  I'm not sure whether it's possible to get the nervous connections working, most likely not.  But besides that point, it's about control of muscles, which lies in YOUR nervous system rather than in the muscle, which has no control over movement, it just contracts.

Call Necromancy on MElrose Blvd in Los Angeles.  I'm sure they can ship you something suitable. I bought a dead seahorse from there.
