Robert White experiments

Quince - 6-2-2006 at 01:21

Of course, most are aware of Dr. White's 1970s successful connection of a severed monkey head's circulatory system to the decapitated body of another monkey, but according to this article (bottom), a 1997 experiment, though still failing to join the spinal column, achieved a sufficient nerve connection to drive respiration in the body. I'm wondering if anyone has any reference to this later experiment, as I wasn't able to find any. The way the article is worded, it's not even clear if White was involved in this experiment, or it was an independent team. Thanks for any info.

Biochemistry is a branch of biology. Probably why the post is here; Whimsy would have been the other possible section. Certainly more appropriate than your pro-animal rights bullshit propaganda.

Gil - you continue being out of step.
The fact that Quince placed this thread in perhaps the wrong forum doesn't mean you are free to post unrelated propagandistic links in turn.
Stay on topic, and improve your English and grammar. Free grammar/spell checkers are available on the internet. That's enough of a challenge for the time being.

My animal right propaganda? I wouldn't keep an animal in my house for money! I was even eating horse tartar steak where it's legal to do so.
RSPCA don't do propaganda neither! They mean the businnes! ask around.
The Whimsy guy asked Where to get reference RELATED to the experiment.RSPCA have those reference in details.
What are you talking about ME doing pro bull propaganda? poch mae hony,radge!

No excuses. Provide the rspca link to these references 'in detail' and we'll all be pleasantly surprised. In that case, you should perhaps have posted this in your first post of this thread to avoid all these unfortunate misunderstandings.
