Head transplantation

Head transplantation


The inventor of this particular gem calls his contraption the ‘cabinet’ but that, sadly, is where the sanity ends.

Billed as providing physical and biochemical support for a head that has been ‘discorporated’ - that’s chopped off to you and me - this is more like something from a Frankenstein movie. Just connect the right tubes up to the oxygen supply and nutrient broth, join the blood inlet and outlet tubes and you’re ready to go.

The cabinet provides support for the head, and a number of drugs and other substances can be administered to the head while it sits on top of the unit. Of course, there is the danger of being arrested long before you begin to use this bizarre contraption, unless your name is Mr Hyde or Mrs Shelley.

Guarenteed to keep any head firmly off its shoulders.

Go create.
