Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates and Warren Buffett Could Help Fund World’s First Human Head Transplant - http://clapway.com/2016/01/26/mark-zuckerberg-bill-gates-and-warren-buffet-could-fund-head-tansplant-operation-123/

Doctor Sergio Canavero is raising funds to conduct the first ever human head transplant, and it could be funded by Mark Zuckerberg. The Italian neurosurgeon has already conferenced with doctors in Russia who are willing to carry out the surgery.

Doctor Makes Video For Support Towards the World’s First Head Transplant

The patient and recipient of this procedure is Valeri Spiridonov, a 31-year-old Russian computer scientists. He was born with Wedin-Hoffmann disease, a rare degenerative illness. He wants to become the first person to have a human head transplant, which would be carried out by Dr Canavero. Canavero has declared that he has a 90% chance of success. If the surgery is actually successful, he could make medical history.

This surgery could cost about $12 million, so Canavero is calling for the world’s billionaires, like Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, to help fund the surgery.

Doctor Calls Out Mark Zuckerberg to Fund Head Transplant

Dr. Canavero specifically called to Mark Zuckerberg, saying that ‘he comes to mind since he has just been sponsoring live extension research and this is certainly a step toward live extension’. Apparently, the doctor has already been in talks with another team of surgeons in China, who have been carrying out the surgery on cadavers. They claim to be making true progress toward the first successful human head transplant.

What Would Happen if Billionaires like Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates and Warren Buffet Get Involved

This breakthrough would bring medical surgery to an entirely new level. If billionaires such as these invested in this surgery, then the technology needed to carry out this surgery can definitely be developed.

This surgery is ambitious to say the least. This call to arms is a great step forward, but the medical equipment available is probably not good enough to make this a successful surgery just yet. There’s probably a lot more research and development that needs to go into this, and the world is probably not ready for what comes after this kind of procedure. The patient is getting his entire head replaced, and there’s a lot to be said about the ethical repercussions of this kind of surgery. Word from these billionaires has yet to be heard.

6 Reasons Why Legalized Marijuana is Good Even Though it’s Not - http://clapway.com/2016/01/26/6-reasons-why-legalized-marijuana-is-good-even-though-its-not/

The idea of legalized marijuana is a very controversial one. However, even though some will not want to hear this, there are several benefits to it. After seeing this list, try and decide whether you think it was a good idea to legalize this drug.

BENEFIT 1

One of the best benefits of legalizing marijuana is the fact that it has advanced the research of it. Ever since it was legalized, medical research on it has found that it is actually safer than many other drugs.

BENEFIT 2

Some states in the U.S are tight on cash, and they waste some of that cash on trying to track down illegal drug cartels. Well, the need to track down marijuana has been unneeded for a while because it is legal.

BENEFIT 3

Humans have their rights, and legalizing marijuana gives them one back. People all around the world are being sent to prison for what they decide to put in their body. There are limits, but people should be able to decide what they want to consume.

BENEFIT 4

There was actually a study that took place back in 2006, and it proved that there are health benefits to marijuana. The study showed that it can help prevent protein lumps that can inhibit cognition and memory. Also, more research has discovered that this drug can help Leukemia patients.

BENEFIT 5

One fact that you may be unaware of is the fact that crime has dropped since this legalization. In Colorado, the crime rate for murder, in the first quarter of 2014, actually dropped around 6%. Also, auto theft crimes went down by 11%.

BENEFIT 6

A while back, over 500 economists wrote an open letter to the President, Congress, and Governors, and it stated that legalizing marijuana would save around $7.7 billion per year in state and federal expenditures on prohibition enforcement.

Top 5 African Americans who Deserve More Respect Than Lil Wayne or Drake - http://clapway.com/2016/01/25/top-5-african-americans-who-deserve-more-respect-than-lil-wayne-or-drake/

Lil Wayne and Drake are two rappers that are very popular. However, they do have their naysayers, and rightfully so I might add. There are so many other African American people who deserve way more respect than Drake and Lil Wayne.

NUMBER 1

Madame CJ Walker is the woman responsible for creating hair lotion for black women. Way back in the 1800’s, she was born into slavery and became an entrepreneur. Once she did this, she invented hair lotion. She is a very inspirational woman, but she still gets overlooked for Lil Wayne and Drake.

NUMBER 2

One of the most prolific African American inventors of all time is Fredrick McKinley. He is responsible for inventing several things, but maybe his best was the refrigerator. McKinley was the very first man to develop this, and he did it for the long-haul trucks way back in the early 1900’s.

NUMBER 3

Scientists sure have to tip their hat to George Alcorn. For those of you who do not know, Alcorn was responsible for inventing the imaging x-ray spectrometer. This device helps scientists identify a material by producing an x-ray spectrum out of it.

NUMBER 4

Our next African American, who deserves more respect than Lil Wayne and Drake, is Garrett Morgan. Morgan, in the early 1900’s invented the gas mask. He used this to save several men who were trapped in an explosion. After this event, Morgan and his team received requests from the fire departments to use his gas masks.

NUMBER 5

The person who might deserve the most respect on this list is Otis Boykin. He is responsible for inventing several electronic devices, but one of the main ones was an improved electrical resistor for televisions, radios, and computers. Also, he created the control unit for the pacemaker, which might actually be his best invention.

Top 4 Reasons Why Lil Wayne is Better Than You Thought - http://clapway.com/2016/01/25/top-4-reasons-why-lil-wayne-is-better-than-you-thought/

When it comes to rap artists, many will argue that Lil Wayne is the best. If nothing else, it can not be denied that he is one of the most popular rap artists of all-time. The amazing thing is he is still very young, and his popularity could continue to spike. However, for the non-Lil Wayne lovers, here are five reasons he is better than you might think.

REASON 1

Lil Wayne, back in 2007, put on one of the greatest performances ever at the BET Hip-Hop awards. It was a rare instance where the live version actually sounded better than the studio version. That is a very rare statement, but it was proven at the Hip-Hop awards show. He always seems to sound really good when he is live, but this performance just stood head and shoulders above the rest.

REASON 2

What is really interesting is the fact that some of Wayne’s best material is actually in mixtapes. He always seems to pull out awesome songs when he records for mixtapes. His original material is still really good, but the mixtapes are where it is at.

REASON 3

One of the things that most everyone knows about Lil Wayne is the fact that he does drugs. This could be thought of as a fault, but sometimes people gain inspiration when they are high. If his best songs come when he is high, then why should he stop? He should just keep doing what works for him so he can keep his fans happy.

REASON 4

One of the most impressive things that Lil Wayne has done was with his album The Carter III. Due to the fact that several songs leaked, he had to consistently make more content to meet the demand. He did an amazing job at doing this, and he should be condemned for his efforts.

Top 7 Smartest Celebrities including Ashton Kutcher - http://clapway.com/2016/01/24/top-7-smartest-celebrities-including-ashton-kutcher

There is no doubt that some of the smartest people in the world are celebrities. They are not all Harvard graduates, but some celebrities are shockingly smart and Ashton Kutcher is one of the several that are.

NUMBER 1: ASHTON KUTCHER

The original plan for Ashton Kutcher was to attend Purdue to study engineering. However, that did not happen, but that did not stop him from gaining great intelligence. He even stated at the Teen Choice Awards, last year, that the sexiest thing in the world is being smart.

NUMBER 2: CINDY CRAWFORD

Cindy Crawford is one of the most well-known supermodels of all-time, but she is more than just a pretty face. She actually graduated her high school as a valedictorian, and she studied chemical engineering at Northwestern University.

NUMBER 3: CONAN O’BRIEN

One of the most intelligent men in the world also happens to be one of the goofiest men in the world. Conan O’Brien is an iconic late-night host, but he is also a Harvard graduate. He once wrote a 72-page thesis that was entitled The Old Child in Faulkner and O’Connor.

NUMBER 4: EDWARD NORTON

Edward Norton is one of the greatest actors of all-time, at least in this author’s opinion. However, besides his amazing acting skills, Norton also studied history at Yale for an extended period of time. Unfortunately, a back injury forced him to stop, but he would then become one of the finest actors that have ever lived.

NUMBER 5: JAMES FRANCO

When it comes to picking up college degrees, no celebrity may be better than James Franco. He has graduated from UCLA, interned at Lockheed Martin, and also taught at UCLA, USC, and NYU.

NUMBER 6: JAMES WOODS

Now, we come to one of the smartest people in the world, period. James Woods nearly perfected his SAT scores as a student, and also revealed that he has an IQ of 184.

Nissan Leaf Crashes - Is There Hope for Google and Tesla? - http://clapway.com/2016/01/24/nissan-leaf-crashes-on-self-driving-mode-will-the-same-happen-to-google-and-tesla-123/

The California Department of Motor Vehicles has reported a car crash from a Nissan Leaf while it was in self-driving mode. What does this mean for Google and Tesla?

Nissan Leaf Crashes While On Cruise Automation on January 8

The car was in self-driving mode while on the roads of San Francisco, but it started waning sideways. The driver took control of the car again, but did not deactivate Cruise Automation and the car hit a parked Toyota Prius nearby. Both cars were damaged, but the driver was not injured.

Is Self-Driving Technology Not Good Enough?

This Nissan Leaf accident brought a lot of spotlight on the reality of self-driving technology. Right now, it looks like it’s too soon to input the technology on existing cars. The technology is much more complex than anticipated, and it definitely still has room for error. Tesla has brought in a lot of innovation with electric vehicles, but it may be too soon for them to announce autonomous models of their cars. Google isn’t planning on commercializing the Google self-driving car officially, but it could also be in the works.

Google Has Been on the Self-Driving Car for Years

Google doesn’t play around, at least not in an unprofessional way. The Google self-driving car has logged more than one million miles on California roads, so if anyone’s got the recipe for perfection, it’s them. Tesla might give them contestable competition, but if Google makes a commercial autonomous car, they will definitely be raking in profits. The Google self-driving car has only been in accidents when a human driver is behind the wheel, and if that’s not convincing enough, the company recently teamed up with Ford to do research and development on artificial intelligence and autonomous driving technology.

Tesla is the hottest ticket in the automotive industry lately, and they recently brought in an Autopilot feature in one of their car models. It can even switch lanes by itself with just the hit of the blinkers. They have openly acknowledged that the technology exists, but that it’s still very young. It still needs to be regulated by government authorities and tested extensively before the need for a driver is completely eliminated from a car – and can be openly sold to the masses.
