The US Patent Office issues Chet Fleming a patent (number 4,666,425) for his method of ‘keeping a head alive’, using a device called a cabinet to pump blood and nutrients through the head - animal or human - and if desired the removal of waste products.
After being thoroughly tested on animals, the patent suggests it might then take a step up into human use. Perhaps Futurama’s Head in a Jar idea isn’t so far fetched after all (at least for people who haven’t been dead for a millennia…).
