im not posting the article here, since you have to see the pic, too. 😑

PVS> Uhrm... This transplant happened months ago... What do you want to discuss?

here's a previous article with more detail on the procedure:

That's an amazing recovery I'd say. Modern Medicine is pretty nice.

The question is valid though. What exactly do you want to discuss in this Thread?

Dude, who pissed in your cereal this morning? I want to participate, I find this rather interesting. But I would like to know what you intended for it. Just to post the articles and pictures? Or should we discuss the pros and contras...just wondering. i mean, what's your opinion on it...we can go from there.

not pissed at all. just dont want to see the topic get dragged into offtopics'ville.

anyway, i find it freaky. imagine picking your nose and thinking "my god, im picking a dead guy's nose".

Well, I find it better than picking your nose and thinking, "****, I don't have a nose cause my labrador ate it while I was sleeping".

indeed...but still...

Yeah I see, it is certainly weird. But I think it will also greatly improve the living standard of those patients. Also, is it so much different from all the other transplants one can get nowadays? And will there soon be a black market for face transplants? "Call 911, your face has been removed!". And does that suddenly make the movie Face Off much more relevant?

"HEY!!!! THATS MY NOSE!!!!!!!!!"

😆 .....It is kinda of creepy. Same with heart and other transplants though you just can't see those internal things....I know this may sound weird, but it reminds me of the move "Texas Chainsaw Massacre"..........

Though I think it's great to be able to do these kinds of procedures.

No, not statue of limitations 🙂 No threads on this… I’m just wondering what YOUR opinion is on this. You find it freaky? Ok… So, are we discussing the wonders of plastic surgery? What will be next? I really DO want to participate…

the pros and contras...

LOL...you Europeans! In this country, we call it pros and cons...

Contras? What is this, an arms for hostage release program?

Yes I now you call it "pros and cons", but guess what, it derives from "contra"...it's Latin last time I checked. Just wanted to show my sophistication, always feel better afterwards. Actually, I seem to recall that I went back to edit iot...cause it looks much cooler. I think people that use big words are, by definition, always right.

kickass vintage capcom game. i wasnt quite a pro at it though

Intriguing... I'm pleased for the people, I can't imagine how I'd feel or what I'd do if something like that happened to me, or one of my family. It's really rather clever.

I'm endlessly amazed by what medical technology can do nowadays, but not nearly as naive as to act like it would be ok to look in the mirror and see that.

Better than what was there previously, maybe.
