A computer programmer Valery Spiridonov who suffers from a muscle wasting disease, is getting ready to have the world's first ever head transplant.
Valery said he and his doctor are making medical history and he is not worried about the procedure.
Spiridonov is meeting with a neurosurgeon from Italy called Dr Sergio Canavero.
If Dr Canavero and Valery agree to go ahead with the procedure, it could happen in 2017.
The pair are speaking at the American Academy of Neurological and Orthopaedic Surgeons in Annapolis, Maryland.
Confident of his claims, Dr Canavero said that his patient should be able to walk within 12 months, and he's testing his technique on brain-dead organ donors.
