What is the scientific mystery behind Mahadeva affixing an elephant's head onto Shri Ganesha?

Some people always claim that Ganesh is merely a figment of imagination. How can an elephant's head replace a human head? The moment a head is severed, death occurs; so why did death not occur when Ganesh's head was severed? It is all imaginary. But today we will show whether all of this is truly against science.

Does a human being truly die due to decapitation? --

Brain death is not considered the confirmation of death. Rather, cardiac arrest is considered the confirmation of death. However, hearts have been observed to restart after stopping, and similarly, in a state of coma, the brain ceases to function! Yet, human beings have been seen alive even after this! To identify brain death in a comatose state, a test called the apnea test is performed, which shows that even during brain death (which is similar to decapitation), the human being is still alive.
Example - Even after a cockroach's head is severed, it remains alive, and its death occurs not due to decapitation but due to starvation.

Is it not possible to attach an elephant's head in place of a human head? --

Let me explain to you with modern-day examples --
(a) - An Iranian soldier lost both his hands in a bomb blast, and after 3 years, both hands of a deceased person were attached to his arms, and today that soldier is living an easy and normal life.

(b) - 10-year-old Zion Harvey living in Baltimore is the world's first human whose double hand transplant was successfully performed. This is considered a massive achievement in the field of human organ transplantation. In July 2015, 8-year-old Zion underwent the transplant. It has been 2 years since then, and both of Zion's hands are completely healthy.

(c) - Now, head transplantation in humans will also be possible soon. Scientists have succeeded in reconnecting the spinal cord of mice and dogs using the chemical polyethylene glycol (PEG). Next in line are humans, and it is being claimed that by the end of 2017, this experiment will be tested on humans along with animals.

(d) - Scientists at South Korea's Konkuk University tested PEG on five mice. Four of them died, while in the fifth mouse, some movement was observed two days after surgery. Within two weeks, this mouse started moving around. The mouse stood up on its limbs and even started eating by itself.

(e) - The PEG chemical was tested on a dog and it was observed that within three weeks its spinal cord began functioning properly. Video footage of this has also been shown. Researchers say that within two weeks the dog stood on its two front legs, and then within the third week itself, it began walking as before. However, scientists believe that this experiment cannot be performed on humans based solely on this much research. Apart from this, Russian scientists have been making claims about head transplants.

Main section - Italian doctors are going to perform the world's first 'head transplant' surgery by the end of this year. Dr. Sergio Canavero stated that this surgery will be performed on 31-year-old Valery Spiridonov of Russia, who is a computer scientist.

Ganesh

Spiridonov is suffering from the muscle-wasting illness 'Werdnig-Hoffmann disease' and is currently in a wheelchair. According to doctors, after this operation he will be able to walk on his feet for the first time in his adult life. The head of a brain-dead donor will be attached to his body.
Immediately before attaching the head, it will be kept at an extremely cold temperature to prevent bleeding. 150 doctors and specialists will be involved in this entire process. Dr. Jose Oberholzer, Director of the Charles O. Striker Transplant Center, said, 'For any successful transplant, you have to protect the immune system. This is so that the body can accept a new organ. At the same time, care must be taken that no infection spreads after surgery.'

Far ahead of modern science, our Vedic science had already developed this technology. We need to research the science hidden in the Vedas. Ganesh is not a figment of imagination, but a truth that even modern science cannot prove false.
