VIDEO: Head transplant doctor claims spinal cord breakthrough


A surgeon who claims he will perform the world's first head transplant next year has in fact released a series of videos showing paralyzed animals that have been 'healed' by his groundbreaking technique.
The videos show a mouse, rat and a dog that are able to walk.

The work was carried out by researchers in South Korea, who have been collaborating with Italian neurosurgeon Dr Sergio Canavero.
He said the experiments proved the spinal cord could be reconstructed, paving the way for a head transplant on a paralyzed human.
