contents We find a non-Hopfian ascending HNN-extension of a finitely presented Hopfian group by providing an explicit construction. This result addresses an analogous question to the one posed by Sapir and Wise, which asks whether there is a non-residually finite ascending HNN-extension of a finitely presented residually finite group. Such an analogy is motivated by Mal'cev's result that every finitely generated residually finite group is Hopfian.
