In the 1930s, Russian scientist Sergei Brukhonenko shocked the scientific world with a controversial experiment exploring artificial life support. Using a device he developed called the autojektor-an early version of a heart-lung machine-Brukhonenko pumped oxygenated blood into the severed head of a dog.
To the amazement of onlookers, the head showed startling signs of responsiveness: it blinked, reacted to sound, and even licked its nose. While deeply unsettling, the experiment marked a pivotal moment in medical science, laying early groundwork for the cardiopulmonary bypass machines used in modern surgery.
However, the experiment also sparked widespread outrage for its disturbing ethical implications.
Many condemned the
extreme cruelty involved, igniting lasting debates about the moral limits of
scientific research and the cost of medical progress
