Things are very futuristic. Watch a film one year and think what an amazing idea, maybe in years to come.. but it happens now..

Re: Face transplant (again)


I saw a programe about this last year, and one surgeon said that although you could use somebody elses face, it wouldn't look 100% like that person because the underlying bone structure will always be different. So they would look similar but not 100% the same.

Still strange thinking about it though
