I don't know what to think, research seems legit, the doctor's work is widely recognized and widely used, but a lot of people think the video is fake.

Looks pretty real to me...they didn't have cgi back in the 40's. However, if they could do that then why wouldn't they still be doing it now with better technology?

All a bit morbid for me.

The point of contention is the decapitated dog. The actual neck of the dog is never shown. At points it lifts its head. The "explanation" is that it's a sedated dog with its body covered up.

I believe I've seen a variant of this with the neck shown. I'll see if I can hunt it down.

Isn't similar technology used to great extent during difficult surgeries? Where the patient is basically dead and all the life functions such as breathing and blood circulation are performed by machines.

I'd think so, those were first steps. Scenes wer disturbing yet 'reassuring', as in buying time.

They don't cut your head off during surgeries :-).

I really hope this is real.

The main problem I see is with the brain cells dying after 10 minutes...can't really explain that one
