I'm not sure if this is right for debate so I'll post this here. If I'm wrong, I know a wonderful mod will put it in the right section
 Doctors are going attempt a radical new surgery: a total face transplant. They're going to take the face of a dead person and put it on the face of someone (as of yet not selected) whose face was horribly disfigured in some accident. You can read the article here. When I saw this I was like "Holy crap" and actually felt a little sick to my stomach. Is the desire to look nice worth risking your life? And then the whole thing about it being the face of a dead person... I think that's effed up. What do you guys think? |

You know, a transplant is rarely perfect. It's a risk in itself.
QUOTE Complications could include infections that turn your new face black and require a second transplant or reconstruction with skin grafts. Granted, it's easier to use a whole face, but you can't say it'll be near flawless. (to mipadi) |
