AB - Cephalosomatic anastomosis, first proposed by Dr. Sergio Canavero, is a procedure to attach the body of a brain-dead person to the head of another person without damaging the brain. Many people find this procedure morally repulsive regardless of whether it is successful or useful. The purpose of this article is to examine both the reasons for cephalosomatic anastomosis and also the common experience of repulsion towards it. Opponents of cephalosomatic anastomosis seem to believe that the procedure results in the loss of either personal identity or bodily integrity, and the repulsion they feel is the emotional reaction to such a dilemma. Therefore, I argue that repulsion toward cephalosomatic anastomosis should be regarded as originating from the difference between the self-view and the viewpoint of life.
