Face Transplants
The most astounding part of this story, elaborated on in the NYTimes, is not that her face was reconstructed using a cadaver. Of course we have the technology for that. I, myself have a dead persons ligament holding my left knee together. But the strange part is the fact that she took enough sleeping pills to not wake up when her dog was eating her face off. Don't you think you'd notice something like that? I wonder what happened to the dog?
