Face Transplantation

I wasn't really sure what category to put this in but I'll try here.

What do you think about this procedure?

Re: Face Transplantation

Sick Children's Hospital in Toronto which is world renowned for helping children from all over the world, are dealing with ethics concerning face transplants in children. The face has to come from a deceased child & would any parent make such a donation?

Why not gal - the face is of no use - its the soul that matters and that's eternal ......

Re: Face Transplantation

That's what I believe too of course, even our animals when they go but still, it would be very eerie & upsetting if a guy down the road had the face of my husband & I had to see him at times. Pretty upsetting for sure.

I'm pretty sure, the end result is not an 'exact' match .....
Plus have you never seen an eerie likeness of your Hubs or even yourself, I have - more than once.
Too many people in the world for us not to be duplicated ....
