These candidates need to be able to face rejection.
Thus making losing face more than a metaphor!

FReepmail me if you want on or off my health and science ping list. Anyone can post any unrelated link as they see fit.
Skin grafts are done fairly frequently from cadavers. Usually not this extensive.
Further, since it is a very thin skin layer that is transplanted the likelhood of waking up looking like someone else is pretty thin (pun intended). The transplant will match your bone/muscle structure over a few weeks.
And this is a good thing, because otherwise Hillary would be wearing Al Gore's face next week.

A New Face: A Bold Surgeon, an Untried Surgery(face transplant)
Nothing new here, been done before, Hillary Clinton is really Joe Stalin.
Michael Jackson?
That's disrespecting the dead!
Uh, ok, but my theory is Joe's not dead.
Why aren't these people being evaluated for mental deformities?
They force transexuals to undergo years of psychiatric treatment, and I think this is just as drastic.
Wonder how the cadaver's living family will feel when they see their dead loved ones face on a different body?
I guess leaving myself to science is now out of the question.
"Complications could include infections that turn your new face black and require a second transplant or reconstruction with skin grafts. "
My theory is that these failures have really been going on in secret for years. How else does one explain Helen Thomas, Joey Biden or Susan Estrich?
I accept your thanks for not posting photographs of the above. I didn't do it out of kindness...I simply don't know how to do it!
I was going to leave my body to art.
Guess that's out of the question now, too. Don't want someone going around with this bod I worked so hard for! ;-)
didnt cage and travolta already do this?
I think it was Eleanor Rigby.
Would be nice for those so severly disfigured they would go to this extreme to have it actually work.
I loved the prison scene where Cage is getting beat up and he looks over at his younger brother, and for a split second has this confused look on his face. Then he displays a menacing "f--k yeah" grin and starts kicking butt.
