The human head is an important part of the human body and the carrier of the central nervous system of the brain. Human life cannot be continued without the control of the brain. In short, it cannot be separated from the human head. But in real life, someone has created a miracle.
A medical doctor named Don Truman separated his wife’s head from her body. However, 15 years later, his wife’s head remained alive.
Normally, the head and body cannot be separated.
In 1989, Dorothy Truman’s wife was confirmed to have advanced cancer. The cancer cells had spread to the whole body. The doctor told him that she could live for only two weeks at most, but the cancer cells had not invaded the brain.
In order to extend his wife’s life, Duo Truman suddenly wondered whether he could separate her perfectly healthy head from the body full of cancer cells, so as to find a way to continue to maintain the life of her head?
“So I decided to do a head and body separation operation for my wife and an experiment to keep the head alive.” Truman said. He began to develop a brain life support system with surprisingly simple structure, hoping to maintain the vitality of the head by supplying water, oxygen and blood to the human brain.
Truman’s wife was found to have terminal cancer.
With the help of the life support system and catheter system developed by him, Truman began the separation of his wife’s head and body. Dr. Truman believed that the biggest difficulty of the experiment was the transition from the natural life support system to the artificial life support system.
Therefore, before the separation of head and body, the brain should be connected to the artificial life support system in advance. The separation of head and body is an extremely complicated process, which lasted for 6 hours.
This experiment is very successful. At present, his wife is still alive, and she can also talk to outsiders with the help of a special walkie talkie made for her by her husband. She is happy to continue to live to this day, but she is deeply ashamed of her current situation. So he refused any interview.
Truman’s wife has lived 15 years since her separation.
Fifteen years later, the news of the success of the head body separation experiment was made public, which caused a great stir in the medical community. Most people believed that Truman had disobeyed God’s will. Crucially, Truman’s wife Belinda died long ago, but part of her body still lives today, which is a miracle in modern medicine! At the same time, many medical workers also believe that it is completely feasible and realistic to maintain life on the human head in vitro.
