Modern Day Surgeon, Or Dr. Frankenstein? Poem by Ace Of Black Hearts

'DOCTOR, DOCTOR, You just cant be serious? '
Yes, yes its all a big joke to some.
Outrageous, and complete insane to others.
Ethically bankrupting to even more.
These days I try to avoid eating my daily moral fiber anyways.
'Why are you doing it? '
'What is the motivation behind all this maddness? '
Think of what it'll mean for paraplegics, or people with muscle dystrophy disorders, and diseases.
Even if it is only the first in a long line evolution of this kind.
'You know doctor some are already calling you the modern day frankenstein.'
But of course we are always afraid of what we don't understand.
A century ago just attaching a finger would have been shunned by the entire medical community.
But us surgeons attaching things is what we do.
We have gotten really good at it.
No where near perfecting it but we are learning each and every day.
There are so many problems we face with this, yet this day and age it is possible.
We have many tools in our arsenal, that didn't exist 30 years ago.
'Well then why not try it on monkey first? '
Because like all other transplants some are in desperate need of one.
'So are you refering to the head or body, it's just curiosty speaking? '
It's not so funny to the man who's dying and willing to risk it all just to live one more day.
'So when will the first procedure begin? '
That is a good question, the estimates times are between two and three years.
It take alot of time plan and research on how to remove and attach a head in under 1 hr.
Not to mention the need to aquire the funding for certain tools that without it wouldn't be theoretically possible.
'So money is an issue? '
Of course it's an issue, it always an issue.
But also laws of certain countries could play a part too.
'So then you don't even know the hospital in which it will be done? '
Yes, but even still we already have 30 year volunteer from Russia.
It will happen, and hopefully be somewhat successful, it is just a matter of the exact time and where can't be pinned down yet.
'How much will the surgeory cost? '
11+ million dollar is the estimated figure.
'How much stranger then fiction can it get? '
I suppose not much.
'Well god speed, god bless, and good luck, because I believe you will need it.'
