Is it reasonable and necessary to encourage face
transplants as a step towards more progress in the field of
transplantation?
A successful face transplant is done for the first time in
France last month to a woman savaged by a dog.
It is not realistic to talk of suppressing this kind of
operation, but it should be restricted to certain cases
with strong indications.
Do you think face transplants will be approved ? Or
prevented by concerns relating to immuno-suppressants,
psychological impact and the consequence of technical
failure?
