• An article on "The Importance of the Brain" which cites the critically important role of preseving memory and thus identity.
• A more recent story about cephalic transplantation with Real Video is available here from ABCNEWS.com. According to this ABCNEWS report, Dr. Robert White is preparing to do this "body transplantation" technique in humans.  With much more positive results in neuroregenerative research and the routine practice of  organ transplantation, his pioneering efforts are beginning to gain more acceptance and credibility among his colleagues.
• An interesting perspective in Real Video from the author of  Cyber Magazine.  He explains the potential short term clinical value of human body transplantations.
• An article covering Dr. White's research from a more neutral, unbiased perspective than above (from infowest.com). This is (essentially) the same article as the "Head Swithcer" article below.
• A short one page history of head transplant research, attempts and successes.
• "Head Switcher" from Electronic Telegraph by way of the "Insane Science Mailing List" (ISML)

Notes in re: cf.

• See also the page on both transplatation in general and tissue banking for related links.
• Many recent developments in cloning such as of stem cells (11-12-98) are very closely related to both tissue regeneration/organogenesis and use gene therapy techniques.  (Such gene therapy techniques increasingly rely on genomic research as well.) Instead of listing this news separetely on three (or four)  pages, it has been posted to the gene therapy section of this web site.
