like many controversial issues its a hard question to answer.
Yes in some circumstances but no in others.
i feel that if all parties concerned are given all the information and all the positives and negatives to consider, and they all agree that it is for the best, then what right do we have to deny them the opportunity.

Surgeons should be allowed to do there job, end of the day they want the best for the person who needs the transplant.
the worst place to be scared is on the face. But to have the chance to have a transplant or to be lefted with a scare?. Plus the dead person has already have given there consent and I would be very grateful to that person.

If it Provides the Patient with a Better Quality of Life Then Yes,
It's not for Vanity like Some Idiot's.
Also the Chance of Rejection of the New Tissue is Quite High..
The Patient also Knows The Risk's,But Would'nt you want
A New Face If yours Was Burnt off with Acid???????

Sure. There are people who are very disfigured and would benefit immensely from this. The donor face would look different on the person it is transplanted on due to the shape of the skull and facial muscles. Therefore the relatives and friends of the donor person would not see the person as being a likeness of their loved one.

i think in extreme cases, say if someone was badly scared from burns then yes, i don't disagree with it at all, i mean theres liver and heart transplants everyday, if a part of my body can make someone else's life better or even save another life, then i'm all up for it. technology today is brilliant.

shouldn't be any different than transplanting anything else. and since the face is on a new bone structure, it looks different than on the original person so won't be stressful for the donors family.

No, I heard that the lady that got the face transplant was disturbed because she had a dead person's face and it was difficult to look at.

Yes, of course they should be. Would anyone like to walk around for the rest of their lives with a horribly disfigured face? I don't think so!

I think you should ask the people so scarred they don't go out and let them decide. Personally I think yes. People with extreme facial disfigurement are not often seen out because people react so badly to it.
