So this business about facial transplant surgery is one of the coolest things ever.
For someone who has lost the will to leave their home for fear of being ostracized because of a facial abnormality, this
Connie Culp, First American woman to undergo facial transplant surgery.
I understand that for years this type of surgery was banned all over the world! Why on earth would we deny people the chance to live a normal life?
Is the fear that young people will be killed for their youthful faces? Is that the future of plastic surger? Will we clone ourselves and replace our old parts with new ones? One can only wonder with such modern breakthroughs.
People who have been severely disfigured are now afforded a new outlook on life.
How cool is that?
Woo Who?! ...I wanna take his face -- offI 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.
