United States startup BrainBridge has released a new head transplant system design. This unique technology combines cutting-edge robotics and AI to offer full-fledged head and face transplant surgeries. This system targets people with severe health challenges like cancer that is resistant to cure, those who are paralyzed, and people who have suffered from broken spines or neurodegenerative ailments. It will allow them access to a body they can use normally.
The procedure involving transplanting the head implies that a patient’s whole head, including their brain, will be detached from the current diseased body and put onto the body of a brain-dead healthy young person. The process should be carried out under fluctuating temperature and pressure conditions to maintain oxygenation of the brain and to avoid clotting. To avoid risk of damaging the brain during the detachment phase, you must lower the temperatures of the donor’s body and the recipient’s head to about five °C or 41°F.

BrainBridge’s system uses sophisticated, high-speed, and high-accuracy robots in order to hasten the process, remove human errors, and guarantee a trouble-free fit. It is claimed by the firm that should all the other parts of the body stay young, the brain could last several centuries. While this theory has aroused hope and doubt in equal measure, there are a number of individuals who have raised concerns about its possibility and morality.
Even though the head transplantation concept has been considered previously, BrainBridge aims to address those critical technical and moral barriers that have slowed progress with its groundbreaking approach. The company seeks professional assistance in overcoming such obstacles while at the same time advancing a belief in their technology that it can break new grounds in medicine as well as provide fresh insights for patients fighting against life-threatening diseases.
