This would truly be a miracle if it works. There are many people horribly scared by fire and other horrid accidents that have lost their entire face. If just to give them hope to live normally...

I wonder if this technology can be used to reverse unwanted circumcisions?

five men and seven women will secretly visit the Cleveland Clinic

Okay, we'll keep it a secret, then.

Does anyone remember the old SNL skit where they talked about kids born without a face. The end showed Garrett Morris with a transplanted white girl's face. Funny.

Sheesh. If they're not thinking with it, they're thinking about it.

Having had a number of skin cancer surgeries/reconstructs myself I feel a tremendous amount of compassion and understanding for these people. Although my cancers were relatively minor and my face still looks OK (no complications and an outstanding surgeon) I know what it feels like wondering and worrying how your face will look after another surgery. Your face really is a huge part of your identity. I guess if I had to choose between disfigurement and looking like someone else ... I would want to look like anyone who looked "normal". Everyone wants to look "normal".

Remember "I Was a Teenaged Frankenstein"? I saw it on "Ghoulardi" when I lived in Cleveland many years ago. Pretty creepy.

The Democratic Party is counting on this procedure to help restore them to power.

Yeah there is hope even for michael moore. He gets a pig snout, beady eyes, and floppy sow ears that are more in keeping with the rest of his bloated piggy body.
