I understand that was the motivation behind Chet Fleming's (pseudonym)
patent: http://home.att.net/~storytellers/severed.html

(incidentally, just rereading some Roald Dahl as I'm taken out by a flu, and
"William and Mary" considerably predates this, as do supposed human experiments
during Indochina wars (source is highly unreliable), and canine cephalon
