be some discussion of the ethics of doing this.

Has this ever been discussed or thought about on the list before?
(Maybe morphable faces or cameleon faces -- but actual *transplants*?)
So if you can transplant faces, why can't you transplant fingerprints.
There has to be a Hollywood adventure film in these ideas someplace.
And it goes without saying at least a series of 7 horror films.
Now of course, if you can transplant an entire face, it seems to make
sense that you could transplant half a face. So on my left half
I have Anders and on my right half I have Damien but inside I'm Robert.
What a strange concept. The only problem might be getting Anders and
Damien to donate their faces to me.
