EP 4|Can You Really Transplant a Head? Inside the Weirdest Surgery Debates

from Vital Medical Mysteries · host Destinesia Dépaysement

What if Frankenstein wasn’t just a legend, but a glimpse into medical science? In this episode, we explore the reality behind organ transplants — from the highest survival rates in kidney and cornea surgery to the toughest challenges like lung and intestine transplants. Then we push the limits: brain transplants, human cloning, and the ethics of building a “spare-parts” body. Mixing pop culture, mythology, and cutting-edge science, we ask the big question: if you replace organs—or even a brain—are you still you?
