Frankenstein... no longer fiction; first Facial Transplant ever.

This certainly offer hope for those severely disfigured! Though the article does have sober warnings....like what if the organ is rejected....

Doctors in France said they had performed the world's first partial face transplant, forging the way into a risky medical frontier by operating on a woman disfigured by a dog bite.
The 38-year-old woman, who wants to remain anonymous, had a nose, lips and chin grafted onto her face from a brain-dead donor whose family gave consent. The operation, performed Sunday, included a surgeon already famous for transplant breakthroughs, Dr. Jean-Michel Dubernard.

Maybe it was a person who passed away and donated all of their body?

Yup. A quote fomr another article on this procedure:

In the operation, tissues, muscles, arteries and veins were taken from a brain-dead donor and attached to the patient's lower face.
