Theoretical possibilities of head transplant

TL;DR

This paper argues that head transplants are theoretically possible without information loss by designing a reversible spinal cord logic circuit bridge, challenging previous claims that such transplants are impossible due to entropy considerations.

Contribution

It introduces a reversible logic circuit model for spinal cord bridging, providing a theoretical basis for the feasibility of head transplants.

Findings

Head transplant is theoretically possible without information loss.

A reversible logic circuit for spinal cord bridging is designed.

Challenges previous entropy-based impossibility claims.

Abstract

Recently, Zielinski and Sokal [ Zielinski, P., Sokal, P. (2016). Full spinal cord regeneration after total transection is not possible due to entropy change. Medical Hypotheses, 94, 63-65] proposed one hypothesis by considering three assumptions against the spinal cord regeneration after total transection. Thus, their claims are concluding that head transplant is not possible. But, using theoretical justifications, we show that head transplant is possible without any information loss. We design a spinal cord logic circuit bridge (SCLCB), which is a reversible logic circuit and thus, we show that there is no information loss.
