BBCnews is carrying a better summary of a report I read about yesterday... plastic surgeons have decided it's possible to transplant whole faces from dead people. The whole point is to give people who's faces have been, say, burned completely off another shot at a normal life.

Just saying "from dead people" conjures up images of grandma's face attached to someone else's body, but nobody seems to have pointed out that a face is not just skin and muscle. It's bone structure, eye color, hair style and color, and a host of other things. In spite of what Hollywood has portrayed, I doubt very much if there'd be any resemblance of the living to the dead.

Still, it is a bit creepy.
