Face Transplants On The Way
kwertii writes "A British surgeon claims face transplants are just a few months off. The procedure "could involve a patient being given new lips, chin, ears, nose, skin and bone from a recently deceased person." The problem? Surveys indicate that very few people are willing to donate their face. Would you?"
But hobbits shouldn't be raising human children!

Why do I imagine that Michael Jackson was the tragically unsuccessful guinea pig for most of this experimentation? It would explain so much. Trying to give that poor man the face of some long dead woman
Inside a dark room, the man who calls himself Linux Torvalds awakes.
Linus: What...what has happened to me?
Stands up, groggily making his way to the mirror - but what looks back at him isn't his face, it's...Steve Balmer!
Linus: Nooooooo!
Meanwhile, thousands of miles away at Linuxworld....
Hacker (in crowd): Hey, is it just me, but did Linus gain like 300 pounds?
Hacker2: Totally. The guy needs to go back on his mac n' cheese diet.
On the stage, a man who's face looks like Linus's is jumping about the stage, clapping his hands.
Steve: Developers, developers, developers....!

It's not just the flesh, it's the bone that shapes your face for the most part. That's why they can make those clay facial recreations when they find an unidentified skeleton. And that's also why Face/Off was so ridiculous...

I think this face transplanting has been going on for quite some time. Why, as a student I would go out to a bar and go home with a beautiful stunner. But, next day her face had been 'transplanted' leaving the stunner with the face of a munter.
here, and remind me to hit preview next time:(
Pain lasts, kid. Its how you know you're alive. Sometimes I think this growing up thing is just pain management-TheMaxx
The story is indeed a repeat but I was thinking of how cool it would be to get the goaste.cx guy's backside transplanted on someone face. Wee slits for eyes, that revolting, gaping maw...
Oh well, don't smoke my karma too badly. After all, the story is a repeat.
