Face transplant patient ready to go home

http://www.cnn.com/2011/HEALTH/05/09/face.transplant.boston/index.html?hpt=C2

Dallas Wiens wanted to feel his 4-year-old daughter's kisses again, something he couldn't do after a horrific electrical accident disfigured his face.

While that is heartwarming the technology scares me. Soon we'll have hundreds of rich biebers and gagas running around.

That's cool. I can only ask myself why when I saw the picture I thought of Gordon Freeman.

woah, that before picture is crazy. glad he got a new face though.

WHAT... HOW... They gave him.. A NEW FACE.. How is that even POSSIBLE. Honestly, it just looks like he had a stroke or something... Youd never even have imagined his accident would have even been 1/1,000 that bad..

How is it they could do that but couldn't even give MJ a nose?....

ohh wow, just amazing.

I feel very scared to look at the before picture. But judging from the after picture, he looks 100% normal. Pretty amazing.Mr_Cumberdale

That is truly incredible, but if I see another person praise God for this I am going to freak out.

This is really cool and highly interesting. It makes me wonder what kind of medical advances are to come.

How many people are praising God in this thread? Also, I find it curious that you capitalize the G.

I must say: I am impressed.

Though the idea of face transplants just reminds me of that Twilight Zone episode. Creepy thought.

Actually, it's grammatically correct to capitalize God. The reason being that God is the literal name of the Christian God; you capitalize the first letter of a name, no? It's not like when you talk about gods, when the word "god" is more of a title - not the actual name.

Good for him, he's one step closer to being normal. The funny thing is the first thing I thought of when reading the title was the movie Face-Off.

Picture for those who are lazy and don't want to click the link.

This is pretty damn amazing. I mean, the gave him a new f****** FACE.
