The physician who proposed this operation/experiment has acknowledged that
the person who has their head moved to another body will experience permanent
paralysis. So what kind of life is this? He is not working on neural repair
or regeneration. He is not working on freezing and reviving people to health.

I suggest that just as in management, there is what I call, MBE management by
ego. The imperial notion and the love of control. Similarly, this surgery
that appears to offer little hope for anything. Its a kind of egoism, merely,
that.
