What if you lost your face?
If we look at a group photo, we always search for our own FACE in the crowd. What if we LOST that face? Are WE gone forever? Are we then dead? If we get another person's face, do we become THEM?

What if you lost your face?,
By J R "observateur" (East Coast, USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Someone Else's Face in the Mirror: Identity and the New Science of Face Transplants (Hardcover)

Up to the minute procedures and ideas are thoroughly explained in a sensitive, knowledgeable and eloquent way that fascinates, educates and even entertains.
