We’ve done body transplants in primates in the past. Hooking up the nerves is still tricky, but we could probably figure it out.
One team did one head transplant with one monkey in the 1960s (it is said to have survived a day and a half). Reattaching a completely severed spinal cord is still impossible, not “tricky”—all attempts at head transplants have produced quadriplegics.
