🧠 Dr. Vladimir Demikhov – Soviet Frankenstein (1940s–50s)

🐶 The Surgery:

• Demikhov was obsessed with transplanting organs. He’s best known for creating two-headed dogs.

• He surgically attached the head, shoulders, and front legs of one puppy onto the neck of another.

💀 The Outcome:

• The dogs lived for a few days or weeks—drinking milk, barking, and moving both heads independently.

• All eventually died due to immune rejection or surgical complications.

These experiments inspired some Western scientists but horrified the public. Ethics? Not a thing.
