dr.'s in kentucky are trying to get permission to do the first human face transplant. it's the wave of the future. use a dead guys face to replace your own! it's a brave new world.

1. Actually

A team in the UK has done several in the last 18 months. It sounds silly at first, but then think about burn victims. Kind of a big help for them.

3. CNN
just did a profile of a young woman who could use this. She was horrifically burned in a car accident. She hardly looks human.

Such an operation would be a real blessing for someone like her. I hope it works.

4. i suspect in the future, they'll grow a new face with your own cells
but it'll make a great movie plot. it's even been done already.
