  • The emotional trauma this woman must have had to endure and probably is still enduring as a result of seeing another face in the mirror that doesnt belong to her is serious. I believe the facial tissue can be transplanted, but emotionally this woman is going through psychological trauma which we don't understand fully.

  • I'm very happy for her.. this is amazing.. and she can now feel like a woman again. <3

  • @Joel0277 She have been attacked by a dog and her face was seriously injured, if i remember well

  • 2:31-2:42 is the most beautiful man-made thing you will ever see in your life.

  • how does she not cry in the beginning she's just talking

  • @Amberilla2782

    Fuck you asshole.

  • What they don't tell you is that this woman attempted suicide by taking pills. She passed out and her newly aquired dog ate her face. Personally I don't think she deserves the face since she was trying to kill herself in the first place. She would have left behind 2 teenage daughters had she been successful. The ethical boundaries in this case have been surpassed in so many was its astounding! Research people...research!

  • @kathy959105 they didnt have the skill. the worlds first whole face transplan was only made recently.

  • wow.. that's just.. amazing.

  • @MrSoomi

    If I understand correctly, before undergoing surgery the doctors have to check if the patient is psychologically fit for a transplant.

  • the first full face transplant was done in spain not long ago

  • God bless those doctors! Really hard work!
