[Avodah] announcing plan for first head transplant in man

[Lisa Liel]

I don't see how or why this would be different than any other 
transplant.  It's a misnomer to label it a head transplant.  On the 
contrary, it is a full body transplant.  If a person who receives a 
transplanted heart is still the same person, a person who receives a 
transplanted torso, limbs, organs, etc, should be no less so.
