I am really curious as to why the idea of head or perhaps brain transplants onto donor or perhaps cloned bodies do not receive more attention from the longevity community. Head transplants have been done successfully on animals. Of course, there is a lot of work to do on spinal cord repair, but the problems seem almost trivial in comparison with something like SENS.
As far as I can see, this is the only realistic hope for achievable significant life extension in our lifetime, making it all the more puzzling that it is never mentioned.
