Want a new face?
Researchers are studying antirejection drugs as a recent interest in hand transplants increases the possibility that a face transplant could be conducted soon.
If only they’d come up with a drug that would stop people from rejecting their current face – so that the face transplant wouldn’t be necessary to begin with!
I would really hope that face transplants would be used in the extreme event of severe burns, disfigurement, birth defects, etc. Not that someday I wake up and want to look like Selma Hayek. I wonder if she’d consent to me having her face? If we traded faces for awhile – - would it be reversible? Like…borrowing her face for Halloween, or something?
Gawd. Time for me to go to bed already!
i don’t think she’d mind you having her face as long as you didn’t get her into any trouble.
Ewwwwwwwwwwww…no thanks!
By the way, nice skin!
Kind of like the movie ‘Face Off’ with John Travolta and Nicholas Cage, hey? Haven’t seen it? It’s a good one!
Thanks, SwtGAHB.
I was just going to say it sounds like “Face Off” which is a great movie, but the reality of it – - well that is something all together different. As you wrote for those in need, burns/defects what have you then yes, but just to do it. I don’t think so.
I do so wish there was something for those with severe burns/defects. My first cousin was burned severly when she was in her early 20′s and although she has had so much plastic/reconstruction it does only so much.
