For victims of disfiguring accidents this could be a gift from Heaven. It will take a great deal of emotional work; but so would being horribly disfigured.

Very true, a huge and important advance. Unfortunately in 20 years the likes of Bin Laden, and underworld figures will be able to take advantage of this kind of surgery.

The procedure has been a theoretical possibility at least since 1999, when surgeons at the University of Louisville performed the nation's first hand transplant. That operation has been duplicated some two dozen times now, and the experience has given surgeons like Dr. Siemionow the courage - hubris, critics say - to think the unthinkable.

Move along, there is nothing new here.
Politicians have been putting on "new faces" since time immemorial. Remember the "New Democrat" face of Bill Clinton?

Thanks for the access to the article.
I'm going to have to think on this one.

A personality transplant would be more in order for this doorknob.

That movie was better than I expected it to be. Solid performances by both Travolta and Cage; but personally I think the girl who played Travolta's daughter upstaged them both.
To: al baby

Not to mention the chronically vain. Don't like your face? Buy a new one. Hey, maybe there's hope for Michael Jackson yet.
