Charles Siebert writes on full-face transplants. Some advocates for the disfigured balk at the idea, saying that the prospect of face transplants could hinder people's ability ''to face their disfigurement with confidence.'' Psss. On the other hand, a survey of docs who say they would accept someone else's face if they required one, but none said they would donate their own. That's silly. Assuming I'm dead and not murdered to get it, you can have any body part of mine you like. Although I'd prefer my heirs get paid. You may not like that, but then as far as I'm concerned with it, you can do anything with my body you like--pickle it, put it on display, play weird games with it...
