A bioengineering company revealed today that it is developing a “head transplant system,” a first for the world.

A shocking video proposes using robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) to transfer a patient’s brain and spinal cord to a donor body.

In as little as eight years, the prototype developed by BrainBridge may be prepared to carry out the ground-breaking medical procedure.

As the brain is “capable of lasting several hundred years provided that the rest of the body remains young,” the US startup claims that individuals who have the brutal procedure may even live a significantly longer life than average.The concept, experts told MailOnline today, is a “bad joke” and “stuff of fiction,” characterizing it as a “gross oversimplification of how the brain works.”

The Ethico-legal Committee of the European Association of Neurosurgical Societies declared human head transplantation to be unethical in 2016.

The committee is not legally able to forbid the use of the procedure, but it does have expert suggestions for neurosurgery practice.

During the time, it was thought that a patient undergoing a head transplant would face serious risks, such as

the possibility of death.

‘There is no solid evidence base for all steps of the procedure; for some, there is even lack of proof of concept,” it added.
