London hospital prepares for four face transplants

London hospital prepares for four face transplants :

"A 38-year-old French factory worker, Isabelle Dinoire, became the first person to receive a new face - donated by the family of a suicide victim - in November last year, after she had been mauled by her labrador."

This is extraordinary, that we can now transplant faces and the article is discussing the idea of donor faces. Something else we can donate to save a life. Adelaide has a cranio facial unit so we often see the miracles of our surgeons who recreate faces over a number of operations for disfugured children in particular. We have seen how much that means to them and how much it changes their lives. Facial transplants would be such a miracle for burns vitims and other who have had their faces damaged in accidents. I often wonder what happened to the Adelaide woman who was accidently shot in the face because the guy thought she was someone else. I wonder about that guy too and what he did to someone and had planned to do to someone else. Sugeons are making some really remarkable breakthroughs so that innocent victims can be transformed. This London hospital plans to transform the faces of four people. I look forward to hearing the results. It's about time we focussed on building up instead of knocking down.
