Face-Off becomes a reality! It's an amazing progression in medical procedures!

Why did she get it? Was her face disfigured or did she just want a new face? I think it is just gross.

I think that medical science is fascinating as hell. Where it will be, what advances we will see in the next 20 years, who knows. Now the brain transplant thing is a little scary, if you ask me. There would definitely have to be some kind of screen process for people who wanted to donate theirs, wouldn't you think?

It certainly is amazing and i found the article to be of great interest as well. The benefit for people who have had face scarring due to burns, other injuries as well is tremendous. The improvements/progress of the medical field in the next few years according to me is going to in quantum jumps. What with the transplant technology seeing great improvements, stem cell therapies, the genetics. I'm sure the next 10 years will see tremendous improvements. There is a down side at the same time of people using these technologies for personal benefit. For ex. People going for face transplants to get new identities, like Face off. Like the crimes under the guise of organ donation, one could have a lot of issues if not controlled well enough.

That's really amazing what they can do now days with new technology..It will gove people a chance who have been scared is disfigured badly I think it is a step in the right direction..

It really is amazing. I'm sure, at this rate we shall be able to extend our lifespan t0 10-150 yrs by 2025 and discover the God through science by 2080-2100.

i agree it's more than amazing that the way of thinking of humans has reached that level of creativity....but messing with what god made perfectly doesn't has the wonderful result you think it has...i am a pharmacist and i can tell you that most of we come up with in either pharmacy,or medicine or any of that ends up to be 90% theoritically successful and to a very very very limited extent practically making any sense but most people don't realize that as they only see the results without knowing anything about the procedure or the many stages during which the idea has come up in,the human mind is very very creative but there's always a very limited ability to apply our theories practically.......to answer your question,yes there will be definitely a great progress in the future mostly based of the progress we already reached now,we will just keep moving up to the next levels gradually....to a certain level where we will be speechless and unable to understand the secrets of nature and the ability of God in a more detailed way....again the human ability is limited,james...but we only haven't reached the highest level allowed yet...which will be the furthest limit we won't cross......but it's wonderful that we try and it's a must and a duty,it's probably the aim of our life or maybe just a way to understand it closely.

I'm glad for this woman. I have a disability, but I don't look different. I can't imagine being disfigured. We are such a looks centered cultured species that it must be very difficult to undergo such a thing. I hope all goes well for her. I'm excited to see what this leads to. I hope it will lead to move more procedures that help humanity.

does this mean she is now two faced??

great improvements we see here in medical discoveries. it will help a lot of people. hopefully this knowledge will not be misused by other or some people for some bad purposes. as mentioned above like we see in movies. but we should not think more of the negative things , cause the positive things still outweigh the negative things it will bring.

Uh, no, thank you. I'm sure it's fascinating but my face hurt just imagining what I'm about to read.
