Surgeons in Brisbane, Australia have reattached a toddler’s head following a catastrophic car accident in what is being called “a miracle surgery.”
Little 16-month-old Jackson Taylor, along with his 9-year-old sister, was riding in a car driven by his mother when their vehicle collided with another vehicle driven by an 18-year-old man traveling 70 mph. The force of the crash caused an internal decapitation, separating Jackson’s head from his neck.

The world’s first head transplant is schedule to take place in December 2017. The procedure is expected to take 36 hours and will require that the head of the patient, Valery Spiridonov be cooled, as well as the donor’s body, to extend the period in which cells can survive without oxygen. [1]
