We can't build an eye with the same resolution as our human eyes because of the number of nerves to be connected. That's just the eye. The spinal cord has orders of a magnitude more nerve connections. And let's not even start about all the blood vessels that have to be connected.

During the procedure, the brain would also have to be supplied with blood, nutrition, the right electrical signals, and more.

We could maybe connect a few things, supply the brain with a few things it requires, but the damage caused will only cascade and be fatal.

Once you read about a successful artificial eye with the same fidelity being implanted, maybe then a safe head transplantation might seem realistic.
