I am a fan of face transplant surgery. The advancements in modern surgery are helping the quality of life for so many in need.
Of course with every great leap forward in humanity there's a major setback, like the John Woo flick "FACE/OFF." Woo has a knack for filming very cool action sequences but alas, a flying slow motion shootout does not a movie make.
Why this type of facial surgery was banned and how Nicholas Cage keeps getting work are among the great quandaries of man. To give someone back an identity has got to be one of the greatest achievements in medical history.
People undergo this extensive surgery are able to get their lives back! People who take the time to watch Face/Off will never get those two hours back.
The mind has to wonder, will the nose jobs of the future be complete nose replacements? Will the cadavers of dead supermodels be sold on the black market? Will Nicholas Cage ever make a good action movie? I'm doubtful on that last one, but hopeful that this will open the doors wider for stem cell research and more surgeries of this kind.
