Re: US plans first face transplant
I thought they could do some amazing things with skin and tissue grafts, without the requirement to be on anti-rejection drugs.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/1636755.stm - There was programme about this a while back, including the bizarre procedure where a graft was "walked" into position, allow it to gain a supporting blood supply from it's new position before seperating it from the original one.
