Wow... I never expected to see THAT...but this IS the interweb, so I'm not that suprised. But yeah, it's fake. It has to be. No government would back-up such an ill-moral procedure, let alone pass a bill to allow such a thing. And if they did, international governments would step in to fight it. it goes against the "rights" that the government says we have. And we all know they love to "take" them away on us at a whim; the second they feel something may be too free. Besides...
The human brain can only maintain itself for so many years before it dies, just like any other organ. The heart stops betwen 70 and 90 years on average (with exceptions, of course), and Kidneys go all the time. Brains are very sensitive organs, and I somehow doubt they would survive a body transplant. It only takes about 60 seconds without oxygen to cause irreversible brain damage, and it will take at least 5 minutes to cut the brain from the body, plant it in the new one and get the blood pumping through it... you ALSO have to worry about the body rejecting the implant. Just like a kidney, the body in question may not be compatible with the brain. If it's introduced and recognized wrongly, the body will attempt to kill it, and the brain will only help it to do so because it's a natural function to destroy that which is a potential threat.
The whole thing has too many flaws to be real. When we attain the technology to create prosthetic bio-netic bodies and/or brain replacements, then it will be possible. I hope we don't get that far though, to be honest.
