Head Transplant done successfully on Monkey.

By -


The scientist who claims to be about to carry out the first human head transplant by next year says that he has successfully done the procedure on a monkey in China. Maverick neurosurgeon Sergio Canavero said he tested the procedure in experiments on monkeys and human cadavers. The monkey head transplant was carried out at Harbin Medical University in China, Canavero told New Scientist. The monkey survived the procedure "without any neurological injury of whatever kind," he said, but that it was killed 20 hours after the procedure for ethical reasons.
Canavero says that the success shows that his plan to transplant a human's head onto a donor body is in place. He says that the procedure will be ready before the end of 2017 and could eventually become a way of treating complete paralysis. "I would say we have plenty of data to go on," Canavero told the science magazine. "It's important that people stop thinking this is impossible. This is absolutely possible and we're working towards it." The team behind the work has published videos and images showing a monkey with a transplanted head, as well as mice that are able to move their legs after having their spinal cords severed and then stuck back together, The Independent reported.
Fusing the spinal cord of a person is going to be key to successfully transplanting a human head onto a donor body. The scientists claim that they have been able to do so by cleanly cutting the cord and using polyethylene glycol (PEG), which can be used to preserve cell membranes and helps the connection recover. It is not the first time that a successful transplant has been carried out on a monkey. Head transplant pioneer Robert J White successfully carried out the procedure in 1970, on a monkey that initially responded well but died after nine days when the body rejected the head.
The newly-revealed success is likely to be an attempt to help generate funds for the ultimate aim of giving a head transplant to Valery Spriridonov, the Russian patient who has been chosen to be the first to undergo the procedure.

INDIA WON’T SUPPRESS TEWARI’S FREE ENERGY GENERATOR.

India considers its own free energy program a matter of national pride, and is very much willing to risk antagonizing Petrodollar countries with its support on Reactionless AC Synchronous Generator (RLG) invented by its own Paramahamsa Tewari, an electrical engineer and former Executive Director of Nuclear Power Corporation of India. Years ago, Tewari had also proven the theories inside Bruce de Palma’s homopolar engine which first exposed this writer to the world of free energy technologies. Obviously, a country cannot implement its own free energy program without considering all possible consequence including a military response from Petrodollar countries, e.g. Saudi Arabia, UK, US. That’s why India has been aligning its own military program with that of Russia which at present is standing up, together with the BRICS countries, against the Nazionist cabal that is imposing all sorts of sanctions to destroy the Russians. The BRICS alliance has in the past promised to rele...

Google Earth discovers stone gates in Saudi Arabia: Precursor to more mysterious civilization?

Saudi Arabia is widely considered a barren desert in the ancient ages, but a new discovery hints that the country was home to various archeological sites in the past which are yet to be discovered. A study conducted with the help of Google Earth has discovered ancient giant stone gates in Saudi Arabia, supposedly the remnants of an ancient civilization. With the help of Google Earth imagery, scientists have discovered more than 400 stone gates which were not documented before in the country. David Kennedy, the researcher at the University of Western Australia said that these stone structures will not be visible at the ground level, but once we move up a few hundred feets, these stone gates stand out beautifully lined up. He added that the gates will be visible in satellite images too. "I refer to them as Gates because when you view them from above they look like a simple field gate lying flat, two upright posts on the sides, connected by one or more long bars," said...

In a move that once again proves   its commitment to renewable energy , China has begun construction on its first large-scale commercial solar plant out in the sun-dreched expanse of the Gobi Desert. Called Delingha, the colossal facility will spread out across 25 km² (6,300 acres) of vacant land in the country's Qinghai province, and will feature six huge solar towers hooked up to an array of solar mirrors. When complete, the plant will have a capacity of 200 megawatts, which means it will be able to supply electricity to 1 million households in Qinghai year-round. "Its designed heat storage is 15 hours, thus, it can guarantee stable, continual power generation," Qinghai Solar-Thermal Power Group board chair, Wu Longyi,   told the press . The facility is the first solar plant to be run as a commercial entity, and   according to Svati Kirsten Narula at Quartz , it’s being jointly developed by BrightSource Energy, based in Oakland, California, and the Shanghai El...
