Over at Newsweek, it seems Hannah Osborne is reporting - First Human Head Transplant Successfully Performed on Corpse, Sergio Canavero Announces [newsweek.com]

Key bits-

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.
