This message board isn't a front for finding transplant volunteers; is it? "Sunspot Lives On?" Maybe I better reread the terms of service; particularly the section labeled "Heads and Bodies". [Cue mechanical laughter].
Now I can't get the Futurama heads out of my mind. www.wikia.com/Top_10_list:Top_10_Futurama_Heads |

This has got to be a hoax, right?
They interviewed this guy on NPR this morning. He was way out there on the end of a shaky limb. What was funny was that the hostess asked him if was going to try it with animals first and he lectured her on how animals had suffered enough for the sake of us humans, so he was going to start right in on human experiments. She then asked him I it might not be a problem finding people willing to be decapitated to advance his study. He said, no, he already had a considerable list of volunteers willing to risk it for a new body.
I can only hope this guy is full of you-know-what. Because if he’s not, and if there really are lots of people out there willing to undergo this crackpot’s procedure in the hopes of getting a new body, we’re in deep kimchee and about to go under for the last time.

The theoretical limitation is the inability of medicine to reconnect severed nerves. There have been advances, but at the present I am aware of no technique that would permit the head (it's really a body transplant when you think about it) to operate its new body. I have heard of attempts such as the article described; none have succeeded so far.
