Re: Brain Transplant
I agree. A body cannot be switched like that. I have no idea if the brain is a self-supporting structure. The mass on top of it night well kill the bits at the bottom if it isn't supported carefully. Getting it out would be dammed difficult too, without major trauma. The only way to do it would be to replace everything but the brain and face. Hopefully, at that stage, whatever is the problem will be "gone away" - say a cancer of the body, or an overload of lead or other heavy metals, or black lung - and you will recover fully.
A cut through the neck, a whole lot of support equipment and lots of careful alignment and glueing together, and it just might work. Removing the brain from the eyes, ears and other majorly important and complex things would be a nightmare, even if we reached the stage where spinal cords could be readily connected back together.
Of course, parts of the eyes and ears could also be switched over, to ensure they continued to work fine alongside the new body.
