Head transplant - wait - what?

[Morrus]

Silly. They can't transplant a hand or a leg; why on earth would anyone think they could do it with something as complex as a head?

Organ transplants are not easy, and there's only a select few they can do. And nobody has ever transplanted even a limb, let alone a head.

I know MOrrus, and I also know it is nothing but a lark for a claim. I find it amazing it is on MSN

 

[Olgar Shiverstone]

Have they done the operation, is the head dead yet? You know the boys in the newsroom have a running bet.

 

[Scott DeWar]

It is to happen in 2017. I am guessing Msn.com was having a slow news day and found the weird and strange to report.

 

[Morrus]

So some guy is going to die in 2017?

 

[Dannyalcatraz]

Odds are good, I think.

some guy in Russia. then the Russians will blame Italy for the actions of the doctor and declare war on Italy.

They always did want a warm-water port...

Reminds me of a plot line in one of my campaigns in which an important NPC had the PCs behead him to avoid a more circumstantially problematic death at the hands of an assassin. The idea was for the PCs to take his head and get him raised later.

Despite much intense debate about the soundness of the plan, (some of) the party went for it. It might have all worked out, too, if the party hadn't then promptly gotten TPKed.




I hope this guy has better luck.
