When I first saw this headline, I thought of the Nicholas Cage/John Travolta movie. I saw visions of Ebay auctions on recently dead "attractive" faces. How much would they sell for? What would the ad line look like? "Would you like to look 25 years old again, a motorcycle crash victim's loss is your gain (only minor bruising on chin)!" Yikes! Very scary.
As it turns out though, this new "face off - face on" procedure is more for the benefit of young disfigured people. It seems like a good thing to me. Maybe having someone else
wear my face after I'm dead wouldn't be such a bad thing.
Nah, it's still creepy. What will they think of next? Don't answer that, I'm not ready for these advances. Anyway, here's the article
