Dr. Xiaoping has transplanted the head of about 1,000 mice while Dr. Canavero has long studied the head transplant operation.
At the Frontier Science conference in north-east China, Dr. Canavero said: "This operation will change history by curing incurable medical conditions like muscular atrophy."
He said the bodies of the patient and donor would be cooled to 12-15 degrees C before the heads were severed from their spinal cords using an ultra-sharp blade for a clean cut.
