Cinema vs. Cynics: The Brain that Wouldn't Die (1962)

This is heavily quoted In a song called neurachem, love that shit. Haven't watched the video yet but I wouldn't be surprised if you guys mentioned it 😂

Those scenes were not edited out by us, that's just how the video we watched was. We watch them on publicdomainmovies.net because watching them on YouTube has resulted in more Content ID claims. It may have been edited out by the site because those scenes had copyrighted music, or they may have been trying to make it more tame.

Was this an edited version you guys watched, or did you guys purposely edit out the more violent scenes for YouTube. Cause in the film, you see the guys arm get ripped off and him stumbling around bleeding out, and the monster biting the scientists neck and ripping it out at the end

When the doctor was talking to the floating head it was actually pretty accurate in its predictions because it addressed a major issue with transporting. The host immune system attacking and overreacting to foreign bodies lodged in tissue and virtually all transplanted organs/tissues except the corneas They did mention transplanting corneas in one of the first scenes that were successful because the immune system can't get to your corneas. However, all cells in each individual person has a unique marker to them on all of their cells, which the immune system can recognize which cells not to kill the cell. If the immune system doesn't recognize a different cells antigen, it will attack it, which can cause swelling, reddess, warmth, tissue decay, amputation, death, etc. Modern medicine has gotten around this immune response issue the ability to visualize antibodies and to only pick a donor with similar enough antigen, which are usually blood relatives. Additionally, immunosuppressives were invented that turn off the host immune system, but they have to take them for as long as they still have the transplant. Unfortunately immunosuppressives turn off the virtually the entire immune system, which a transplant patient highly vulnerable to severe infections that could be fatal while someone with a functional immune system may only experience a mild cold from the same pathogen. There are 'lymph nodes' located all around the body, two of which are found in the neck. Lymph nodes are basically little hubs of immune cells. So the scientist saying he would remover lymph nodes would actually make the body transplant more likely to be successful. I am not sure if where immune cells are stored throughout the body was fully understood in 1962, so if the movie crew couldn't hire any medical professional for consultation, The scientific dialogue wasn't completely off base, especially given the fact it was made in the early 60's.
