He didn’t die, he changed his mind got married and had a kid

Is there’s someone willing to do this it would actually be very interesting to see

He changed his mind, but if I ever become deadly sick or suicidal, I'll consider this way to go.
With luck I would survive, have nothing to lose just to win.

If you remove someone's head and set it down next to the body, which item or thing is the person? Is it the head or the body? He didn't get a head transplant, he got a body transplant.

7y ago...sooo no feedback after..so he died?

[rohanrafi]

They should do it with someone who is terminall, it would make more sense

[CrahmaanAkram]

He is marriage he changed he is mind😂😂😂😂

[coffeebluesnightsips]

Where are you getting a body from? Like how willingly giving up the body

[milaa]

What happened after? Did it go through?

If you're willing to take that risk you should be able to do so in the U.S. because are we not the land of the free? Or are we just slaves working to "pay taxes" to be "free" or do we do so just to fund other countries. Think about it no one else pays taxes for everything they "own" but America

He backed out of it, because his girlfriend loved him for how he is.And he would rather live with what he has then gamble on this surgery that really would have been a death sentence.
