Over at Newsweek, Hannah Osborne is reporting - First Human Head Transplant Successfully Performed on Corpse, Sergio Canavero Announces — Key bits:
Scientists have carried out a head transplant on a human corpse, the neurosurgeon behind the operation has announced.
At a press conference in Vienna, Austria, Sergio Canavero said his team was able to remove the head from one body and connect it to the body of another by fusing the spine, nerves and blood vessels. He said the next step will be to carry out the operation on a living person, The Telegraph reports.
"The first human transplant on human cadavers has been done. A full head swap between brain dead organ donors is the next stage,” he said. "And that is the final step for the formal head transplant for a medical condition which is imminent.”
Canavero said a “high number” of people have volunteered to be his first head transplant patient. It is thought he will carry out the operation in China in December.
Because, of course, some of us are aware of the special dynamics of the intersection between Ethics, Journalism, and the Chinese government.
And then the next kicker to sufficiently anti-bait the click:
The Italian neurosurgeon did not present any evidence of his claims at the conference.
But, who knows what gruesome story we'll hear about in December.

It's simple. Law has force only on people who respect law. For example, if you start thinking that jail is just another hotel with bad service, law loses power.
The unlawful don't read the law and then change their behavior, they expect law enforcers to catch them first. The lawful on the other hand are busy demanding tougher laws.
The enforcers just want people to work and obey.

Yeah sure jail... because there is no penalty greater than that in socialist utopia. But in real world you get the fucking chair.

If the guy's planning to off themselves anyway, it doesn't much matter does it?

All fine and dandy until you end up "getting the chair" for throwing a burnt cigarette on the footpath.

how has this approach to justice affected your ability to enjoy a fine cuban cigar? I imagine that there are some ways to get one, and other ways to get one. but if you are not really clear on which way is the right way, in the end, you still may enjoy a fine cuban cigar, just with less details to cloud your smoke.
