has anybody had a head transplant in the world?


Answer:
Actually I think it has been done in monkeys and I believe they did survive for a while and show some signs of transmission of nerve impulses. Obviously never in humans. The problem is that it is not possible to connect the spinal cord and the nerves in such a way as to allow accurate transmission of nerve impulses across the join.
The term head transplant itself is a misnomer. You are your brain. The recipient would be the head and the donor organs would be the rest of the body. I suppose you would call it a whole body transplant.
No.
