... think again, says plastic surgeon Peter Butler.
"Butler is calling for a debate about whether face transplants should take place. Mr. Butler said surgical techniques would allow the procedure to take place within the next six to nine months.
"But he said it was essential for a moral and ethical debate to take place before anyone underwent the operation.
"He told the BBC: "It is not 'Can we do it?' but 'Should we do it?'"
"Mr Butler, a consultant plastic surgeon at London's Royal Free Hospital, will discuss the issues surrounding face transplants at the British Association of Plastic Surgeons in London on Wednesday."

I can see all kinds of weird shit here - imagine the reams of elderly Hollywood wives with fresh new visages and horribly shrivelled bodies. *shudders* Or someone you know suddenly looking completely different but behaving in the same way...
...or looking in the mirror and seeing a dead guy staring back at you....:eek!!!!:
