I just want to say one thing, wouldn’t it be weird to you to see your dead loved one’s face walking around on someone else body? That’s not creepy at all to anyone…. No one?

“WHEN YOU DIE, THATS IT YOU ARE GONE, NO HEAVEN, NO HELL, YOU DO NOT NEED YOUR FACE WHEN YOU ARE BURRIED 6 FEET UNDER.”

Amazing how people can say this and believe that it’s what everyone else should believe. When you die what if it’s something different? What if your soul is actually separate from the living body? Yes, you should donate your organs but not for this drunken, high off weed or some other awareness shortening drug reason. Robert, you no doubt spend the majority of your life getting high and never taking anything serious.

“KARMAS A BITCH SO KEEP COUNTING YOUR BLESSINGS.”

Blessings have to have an origin, they don’t just come from no where, so does karma.

ANYBODY WHO ISNT A ORGAN DONAR IS SELFISH AND THE ONLY WAY YOU WILL EVER REALISE IS WHEN SOMBODY CLOSE TO YOU NEEDS AN ORGAN. KARMAS A BITCH SO KEEP COUNTING YOUR BLESSINGS.

the thing is, it’s all well and dandy to say its unethical to do this well come along and say that again when its you /your mother/father/son/daughter with a disfigured face.

i dont see how the face is any more personal than persons lungs or heart.

at the end of the day, the persons dead, they have given permission to donate their body, as they do not need it any more.

human face is the most personal item of a person,so I hope one day the medical science will be able to reproduce lost organs of the same,stem cells and genetics have advance in a considerable speed this is what I think

Falcon, and receiving lungs from a teenage girl isn’t a personal? Why? Because no one can see her lungs?

That was intensely personal.

and yeah, Megan, you should probably keep that as ‘just a thought’…

gee, a face is such an ethical problem – but dissecting cadavers for medical practice, using valves, organs, and tissues as spare parts for living people, selling ancient Egyptian mummies for firewood, nothing wrong with that.

These peeps need to stop with their ‘ethical’ bull****. It’s an excuse they use for advances they’re afraid of or believe ‘angers God’. There’s no reason living people should have to suffer with any type of illness, deformity, or handicap ever.

Weird that this documentary never mentions the real story behind why her face was mauled by her dog. She was in fact attempting suicide by overdose. After she passed out, her dog tried to wake her up and went to the extreme of physically biting her face. Is it right that so many resources were used to repair the face of a woman who wanted to die? Just a thought.

This is so sad… yet inspiring to me. I have a congenital eye condition and after numerous operations look mostly normal but there is always a difference you can tell.. since it’s on the face it really makes me self-conscious. But seeing this makes me so happy for what I have and how I look.

Ok: True transplant story time!

I used to sell Amway (Yeah, like even my own family ran from me when they saw me commin’) but that’s besides the point. I have a riddle for you from true life! How could the founder of Amway have heart transplant surgery and then actually, and in person, be able to go and thank the young woman that gave him her heart? Hum? Stop! Proceed only if you’re stumped.

The answer: When a person with cystic fibrosis of the lungs gets a transplant and therefore new lungs, it’s easier to just give them a heart and lung transplant all together. A youg woman with diseased lungs but a perfect heart got her heart and lung transplant, and then donated her perfect heart to whomever needed it most. It happened to be the founder of Amway, and later we went to the youg woman, and said to her face to face, “Thank you so much for your heart!” Cool, eah? :-)

REB: Believe it or not, I shockingly agree with everything you’ve said. Miracles never cease! I’m not surprised people (or babies) are being taken for their organs. So scary. I’ve got 0+ blood which is not “rare” but is a universal donor for positive blood types. Also pretty valuable as “O” can only accept “O” organs (or at least blood). Not so sure if they ever transplant across blood types as they sometimes do with blood in a pinch.

Mr. Razor: Let’s hope since she has had the transplant already that her face isn’t rejected later on. Poor lady. I really feel for her.
