[ELI5] Why aren’t brain transplants possible?

570 views

If there is a brain dead patient and a person with multiple failing organs, why is it not possible to transfer the brain to from patient to patient? I understand there are many ethical reasons to give somebody another’s body, but if both had given consent then would it be possible and if not why?

“the man with two brains” it was called. Absolutely worth the watch.
