I don't know if it's me being squeamish, but I find myself feeling uneasy looking at photographs of Isabelle Dinoire, the world's first face transplant recipient. Perhaps it's because seeing her, you know that she's 'wearing' someone else's face, and it doesn't like quite 'right'.

Having said that, wow. Given how strongly people must have reacted to her in her disfigured state, this must be a new lease on life for her, a miraculous gift. According to the article, she isn't out of the woods yet, but this is a world first, and a very promising thing for disfigured people the world over.
