    So will they look exactly like the person the face is taken from? Or will there bone structure change it dramatically?

    Some lady in France just received a "new" face very recently.
    Apparently, they only replaced the nose and mouth area (was attacked by a dog), so one wouldn't look exactly like the other person ... but you'd still not look like yourself. That has to be pretty *uckin weird.

    Heard about it in my dad's medical journal a while ago, really awesome, but the complexities are immense. Aren't they tetsing right now on burn victims who are temrinally ill? Trying to figure out the chances of acceptance of the skin vs. antibody rejection I suppose.

    I just hope it doesn't become abuse, in the way of plastic surgery. Then it will be a problem.
