Terminally ill man set to be first to undergo the world’s first full head transplant AN Italian surgeon is set to become the first in the world to transplant a human head on to a donor body. The pioneering operation by Dr Sergio Canavero is to be carried out on a 30-year-old computer scientist who is suffering from a fatal muscle wasting disease. Valery Spiridonov has admitted that the prospect of going through with the operation is terrifying. “I am afraid, but what people don’t really understand is I don’t really have many choices. “If I don’t try this out my fate will be very sad. With every year my situation is getting worse.” The man from Russia, who is battling the rare genetic Werdnig-Hoffman muscle wasting disease, added: “My decision is final and I do not plan to change my mind.”............................................ ....................
