Surgery scheduled for 2017 without usual postponements, but even so, I wouldn't attach too much credibility. Firstly, it's too early for such a venture and secondly, if the case was serious, it would be all over international media.

Well, seeing as the YOU is the brain, this should more rightly be called a body transplant... but my guess is its bogus.

Why? Well, for one thing, hooking up the nerves would be near on impossible, as for the spine, I'd hazard a guess that the transplant would make him a cripple.... and restarting the heart to match the brain would be... hard...

But ask yourself this... why? why would anyone need a new body.... sure, old man wants new body... but unless he can pay for the entire thing... its a no go...
