A New Face
Via the New York Times: the world's first partial face transplant. I could wish that there were not any questions about the recipient's stability, if only to make the story a tidier one. But as far as the surgery and the accomplishment goes...wow. This is one of those science-fiction-in-real-life moments when science looks pretty damned amazing.

It seems to be turning out much better than in Eyes Without a Face!
I was thinking of Face Off myself.
I, on the other hand, thought of Abre Los Ojos, the Penelope Cruz movie from Spain -- the one used very soon after as the basis for the Penelope Cruz/Tom Cruise movie, Vanilla Sky.
