Could the new brain trigger the entire foreign immune system to attack itself?

So a little quick refresher reading to make sure I still have a (shaky) grasp of the concept now done, I'm going to posit that beyond the many OBVIOUS ways that the head transplant idea is a bizarre farce, the idea that a head transplant would be protected from rejection is really, really false. The blood-brain barrier does limit the flow of antibodies into neural tissue, but the barrier isn't complete because the brain does have to be able to send (and in some cases potentially receive) hormonal signals through the blood. That means that there are sites within the brain where the blood-brain barrier leaks. This mostly works alright in limiting the damage of some toxins on the brain, but when you're talking about prolonged immune-system response, I really don't think it's going to hold up. Also, have I mentioned the whole idea is patently insane? I mean, we're still talking about the guy who threatened to sue because his likeness was very obviously being used in a Metal Gear Solid game, right? The guy who's complaining that peer review processes and things like 'ethics' are standing in the way of him doing mad science? Even if he was right, and can successfully transplant a head onto a new body, he's still crazy. Solice Kirsk posted:So would that mean they wouldn't get the signal since they'd be part of the offending body part? Could the new brain trigger the entire foreign immune system to attack itself? The human body is a quirky, interesting thing. So, the immune system is...not controlled by the brain, so much. It's mostly autonomous, and relies on the individual actions of immune cells and their interaction with other tissues (like bone marrow, which produces immune system cells; there are also other glands and organs that produce, regulate, or accumulate defensive cells). It's very complex and not especially centralized. So, no. Your brain cannot do that.

Funeral home horrors put spotlight on spotty US regulations This article is a bit flowery at the beginning, but wow. I guess I never thought about what happens when a funeral home runs out of cash. No pictures of bodies, descriptions aren’t especially graphic. Highlight: quote:When the family tried to retrieve Myrna Duffer's remains, an employee took 45 minutes before returning with a white paper bag filled with ashes, the couple's daughter, Patricia Williams, said. There was nothing to indicate the ashes were Duffer's.

Bodies were hidden in the woods around the property.

Killingyouguy! posted:Not sure if a direct link is kosher here, but I just finished watching a documentary called The Drug Trial: Emergency at the Hospital, about the 2006 first-in-humans trial of a drug called TGN1412. It had been shown to be safe in monkeys, but due to a small difference in monkey's and humans immune systems, sent all the participants (aside from the placebo recipients, obviously) into multiple organ failure. Luckily the trial was being conducted at a hospital (which at the time was not a requirement) so the ICU they got rushed to was just downstairs. Everyone survived, though one participant had to have his fingers and toes amputated after they began to rot away. These things happen more than you'd think. The reason that one got so much publicity is that the girlfriend of one of the participants was a BBC reporter, iirc. A while back, I worked for a company that had to abandon one of its pipeline drugs because it made every single one of the study subjects go blind. I was a bit shocked when an independent researcher in the US sought permission to run another study with it around five years later. I left before finding out what happened with that, but supposedly the company were contractually obliged to supply him with the drug based on a contract they'd signed back when everything was still peachy, so maybe he did. On the plus side, both the studies you mentioned led to tightening of the European guidelines and regulations to guard against the same mistakes in protocol design occurring again.

Intrinsic Field Marshal posted:Isn't a Wasp Factory a Hive? In the book, the protagonist has constructed a device out of an old clock that he calls “the wasp factory”. He uses it for divination, by introducing a live wasp in the middle and observing it making its way to one of several (12?) chambers where it will be killed in various ways, like crushing or falling into acid. This is the least hosed-up thing the protagonist does to animals. His brother is worse.

How are they doing these circumcisions if 250 penises a year are being accidentally "partially or completely amputated?" Like, 'oops, there goes your dick.' What? Are they using like a itty bitty guillotine instead of a scalpel? Are these being done by lay-persons instead of doctors? Maybe figure that poo poo out.

The procedure is done as part of a rite of passage ceremony that’s supposed to be shrouded in secrecy. It’s not really uncommon knowledge, though, and there’s discussions about it every year. quote:At least 969 initiates have died from complications resulting from the ritual since 1995. Accurate statistics are not available for the number of penile amputations, but it is estimated that their number is roughly twice the number of deaths.[6] Most deaths and complications are the result of incompetence on the part of traditional practitioners.

Seeing the outcome of public health policy is in the public's interest. That said, the spoiler images should probably just be linked with since spoilered images still load into browsers, which can cause problems for anyone browsing from their workplace internet.

Why would you not just start out with this explanation. Why would the hatch accident be a better explanation than carbon monoxide poisoning? Dude just confess to killing her, you're only making things worse for yourself. He only confessed to it because they found the saw (which a witness very early on in the case saw him bring to the submarine right before their departure.) that he had used to dismember her with.
