Still not sure about this one.The face is such a positive means of identification.Is one's face one's identity and how would it feel to have someone elses face?How might it appear to someone to meet the person who is a recipient of a transplanted face of your loved one?

With organ transplants anonimity is guaranteed because one human liver looks like any human liver.But with faces?
