British surgeons are preparing to carry out an unprecedented full face transplant operation next year after being granted ethical approval to actively seek patients. The 30-strong team headed by Peter Butler, a leading plastic surgeon at the Royal Free Hospital in Hampstead, London, was given the go-ahead by the hospital's bioethics committee yesterday. The announcement follows the partial face transplant in France last month of a woman whose face was mutilated by a dog.

So they take the faces off of organ doners eh?

How would your family feel if your face was donated, and they met the patient??

They probably wouldn't recognize it. Bone structure makes up too much of your looks.

So if you donate all your organs when you die, and the people who receive your organs donate all their organs when they die, maybe you can get back together some day.
