A friend of mine recently sent me a link to a website he found from a previous sdmb thread. Here is the link: [http://216.247.9.207/bthtml/about.htm](http://216.247.9.207/bthtml/about.htm). Could a medical practice like this truly exists? Is it even legally or scientifically possible?

Thank You

I’d be wary of any brain (or body) transplantation process that offered you [a "future body"](http://216.247.9.207/bthtml/bodies.htm)that comes with a prosthetic hip!. Now if the _whole_ body was prosthetic, _that_ would be impressive.

I can speak from experience and say that it is a real website.

Of course it’s a real website, I just looked at it! I’m pretty sure that the idea of human brain transplantation is laughable though.

Anybody else think the lawyer looks like “Rosie” from Strange Brew?

Also notice their “monitoring center” look like a bunch of 386’s running DOS.
