Gives whole new meaning to giving head and losing face! Do you get to choose? Are the faces graded in any way, ugly ones cheaper? Can you call dibbs? Well, beauty is only skin deep and now surgically applied.

Given "skin's particularly potent ability to stimulate the immune system if grafted from one person to another", I wonder if it's worth it. I can understand going on a major regimen of immunosuppresant drugs in exchange for getting a new heart, but I'm not sure I'd make that tradeoff just to avoid a "mask-like" appearance. Though I think there was a doctor somewhere who claimed that the immunosuppresants were prolonging the rejection response in heart transplants, and that not prescribing them unless they were really needed worked better.

Anyway, I hope I never have to make the choice!
