I heard on the radio that science has discovered a method of transplanting a head onto a new body.

Do you think this could finally unlock the mystery of what occurs after death?

Some people, including Walt Disney and Timothy Leary, have had their heads removed and frozen in anticipation of this possibility.

The Bible solved that 'mystery' long ago . . .

His spirit goes out, he returns to the ground; on that very day his thoughts perish.”
Psalm 146:4

“The living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing at all . . ." (Ecclesiastes 9:5)

"Whatever your hand finds to do, do with all your might, for there is no work nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom in the Grave, where you are going.” (Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10)

"All are going to the same place.
They all come from the dust, and they all are returning to the dust." (Ecclesiastes 3:20)


NDEs are the perceptions of some living on the brink of death, experiencing oxygen deprivation, and 'clinical death' . . . not experiences of people who have actually died, or 'cell death'.

It already been shown a head can be transplanted onto a new body.

Who is going to be the first to open a thread on who we think has a head that requires a ne body so it can go on living and talking wisdom and those whose bodies should be recipients of a head that has some?

Think that more of a question for the philosophy forum than here.

You know what's funny. The first thing that popped to my head when I saw the thread was.....an aweful B movie called "they saved hilter's brain".

No part of Walt's body was frozen. That's an urban myth.

There is no mystery. After death - barring quick revival - the brain soon suffers decay to the point where it is destroyed. Wondering 'what happens after death?' is like wondering what files exist on your hard drive after incinerate it in a blast furnace. It's a notion borne of superstitious nonsense.

And the brains of those people have been destroyed in the process. The ability to attach a head with a brain that hasn't been destroyed by death and/or freezing would not change the fact that they - their personalities, their memories, who they were - have been completely and irrevocably gone since they died.

Does this claim remind anyone else of commercially-viable civilian space travel, or nuclear fusion power plants, which have been 'just a few years away, cross our hearts!' for decades now, with articles hyping how they're finally 'going to happen real soon now, and we really mean it this time!' every couple of years?

Why would one think they can revive a head that has been dead for many many years?
