"Love That Killed" This adage is the subject of many exchanges to talk about each time the love caused by the death of many people in the world. However, the opposite of what he called "love for life" can be applied to a young Russian who has occupied the world and was about to undergo a complicated operation whose chances of success are very limited, according to many medical experts.
Valery Spiridonov, 33, suffering from a genetic disorder, canceled a head transplant because he had fallen in love with a Russian who had just married her and was living with her recently, the Mirror reported on Tuesday, December 18, 2018. A child
Valery Spiridonov is a young Russian with a rare genetic condition that makes him move only in a wheelchair. Spiridonov wanted to move his head to another body in the process unleashed even before a storm of criticism.
Spiridonov was skeptical that there was something wrong with the purpose of planting a head in another body, especially after many medical experts had confirmed that it was impossible to do it for the moment.
"I understood that the danger was very high," said Spiridonov, quoted by Russian Komsomolskaya Pravda. "No such operation has been carried out before".
"These people (in wheelchairs) are much deeper, more loyal, have a good heart and are also very smart," said Anastasia Panfilova, a newspaper quoted by the newspaper Mirror, and that's what matters most. "We lived in the same city and we often met professional things," said Anastasia, who holds a master's degree in chemical technology, and quickly realized that we were compatible with each other. "
According to the same source, Anastasia and Spiridonov lived six weeks ago with a healthy child. The family now lives in the United States, where Spiridonov is continuing his studies at the University of Florida.
It is worth mentioning that the famous Italian doctor Sergio Canavirón had the intention to lead this complex operation. In November 2017, Cannaviron confirmed that the first operation to cultivate a "living human head" was imminent, Today 's American.

Origin of stem cells of renewable drugs
Stem cells play an important role in the development of regenerative medicine, they are at the origin of all the cells of the body and their division comes from stem cells and sub-cells having specific functions, to be converted back into stem cells. The peculiarity is that this process continues throughout human life and thus renews the organs of the body.

Critic acerb
In 1998, American researchers obtained human fetal stem cells through the killing of embryos, which has been widely criticized. The German Embryo Protection Act, which prohibits embryonic stem cells from embryos, was introduced in 1991. In addition, embryonic stem cells can only be imported into Germany under embryo conditions. Strict.

Stem cells are morally acceptable
Unlike cells derived from embryos, obtaining induced stem cells is morally acceptable. These are cells obtained from very somatic cells and can be transformed into stem cells by four cells implanted in the laboratory. Used to treat cells or as a basis for drug testing. They are often used in research on the development of Parkinson's disease, for example.

Renewal of body organs
All the organs of the body can not be renewed, such as the eyes, the brain and the heart. With age, the ability of organs to regenerate becomes limited as cells die and their ability to function is reduced. One of the goals of regenerative medicine is to reactivate the body's self-healing powers.

Alternative fabrics
Crossed tissue engineering can develop tissues that look like the original. These tissues can be used to treat burns and to produce veins and blood organs. This method promotes the process of self-healing and is an important advance in the world of medicine that opens the door to many possibilities. Through tissue engineering, researchers are looking to replace whole organs such as the liver or the kidneys.

Cell therapy
Cell therapy aims to stimulate regeneration and replace deformed or infected cells. Cell therapy is often used in stem cell transplantation by replacing diseased bone marrow with healthy cells, such as treating advanced cases of leukemia. Chemotherapy and radiation negatively affect the blood cell production process and the patient's immune system.

Genetical therapy
Gene therapy remains a major problem in the world of research. In which new genetic material is injected into the stem cells, thus replacing the gene gene with intact genes. This method is used to treat mainly genetic diseases and some cancers. The problem with this treatment is the use of some genetically modified viruses to transmit these genes. It is possible here that the viruses resume activity and thus infect patients with other diseases.
