Could you have a face transplant? Or would you feel too weird about it? Are there ethical issues?
I'd be for it......

I'd be ok with it I think..since they put the face over your own bone structure it wouldn't look exactly like the original anymore I don't imagine..
I don't think there are any more ethical issues than with other kinds of organ transplants.

Only if I really needed one.
My father's x-wife (one of them) had a few face lifts. I always think it's really frivilous or what's the word, selfish or just plain self-centered to be getting face lifts that cost so much. But I guess a face lift and a face transplant are 2 different things, aren't they? What's the difference?
