I guess whith blood though - it probably just came from a live donor - not a dead one, so its not AS creepy.

I found this while looking at past IodT. Don't remember how it turned out. Must have been a flop? http://www.betterhumans.com/News/2430/Default.aspx

Ethical debate has been stirred in France over groundbreaking facial transplant in which both the donor and the recipient had attempted suicide.

Transplant patient Isabelle Dinoire, was reported to have overdosed on pills last May following an argument with one of her two daughters. As she lay unconscious, part of her nose, her mouth and chin were bitten off by her Labrador-cross dog.
Does it make any difference that she 'lost her face' because she had OD'd? I had heard that it was heroin she'd OD'd on, but couldn't find any evidence to support the claim.

You'd better start looking for a donor you can run over with your car when you need it. :lol:

Beestie, yes.

Important safety tip ... if you're going to commit suicide, don't forget to put out enough food for the dog.

Face transplant patient dies: https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...abelle-dinoire

Quote:
Dinoire died in April, Le Figaro revealed, which was confirmed by doctors in Amiens who said they had not previously announced her death to protect her family’s privacy.

Doctors did not reveal the exact cause of death. Le Figaro reported that Dinoire’s body had rejected the transplant last year “and she had lost part of the use of her lips”.

The drugs that she had to take to prevent her body from rejecting the transplant left her vulnerable to cancer and two cancers had developed, the paper said.

well, thanks for the update, but that's too bad.

Hopefully the decade in between the operation and her death was worth it for her. I imagine it was. But my imagining isn't worth much.
