Head Transplant: The Truly Disturbing Truly Real Story from Jim Fields on Vimeo.
A short documentary by Jim Fields about neuroscientist Robert White, including footage of a brain kept alive (sort of) outside a body, and a monkey head transplant. Bits of it are quite disturbing. The article I found it in is a good read, too.

Reminds me too much of Dr. Frankenstein. I'm sure there is valuable scientific research derived form this work, I'd just rather not learn the details :P

Thanks for sharing. :D

Cool video, but the fact that they experimented on animals in such a way is disgusting to me. We don't need this kind of advancement enough to torture other living things. The ends do not justify the means.

If people want to volunteer themselves, then go ahead. Don't force it on ones that can't say yes or no.
