The surgeon announced he will love to do the intervention in London. Valery Spiridonov wants to become the first person to benefit from a such transplant. Sergio Canavera sustains he is ready to do the intervention but many doctors manifest major doubts and describe it as a fantasy. Harry Goldsmith, a California doctor who has carried out one of the few operations that has allowed someone with a spinal cord injury to walk again, said: ‘I don’t believe it will ever happen.’ The cost of the intervention was estimated at £7.5million.
