I read in yesterday's paper that the woman who received a face transplant in Cleveland has been doing well. This news following the well-publicized birth of octuplets through in vitro fertilization to an unmarried woman who'd already had six children by the same process a few years earlier. Genetic engineering. Cloning. Face transplants. Steroids for strength in a jar. Just who do we think we are:
Oh. Right.

Just so long as we separate the miracle of the technology from the rampant misuse of it. Suleman is a fool with a clown car for a uterus and no more brains in her head than God gave a weasel, but perhaps no more foolish than the IVF clinic that impregnated her. However, the fact that a facial transplant is now an option for those with disfiguring conditions isn't exactly in the same ballpark.
Your post on Suleman was part of what got me thinking about this stuff. For the moment, the face transplant is distinguishable from the serial breeder. Clearly, the gal that got the face transplant was suffering, and apparently really needed it. The potential for abuse lurks, though. Imagine the ghoulish aging celebrities who might want to trade faces with some beautiful but poor girl. Then we've got a real predicament.
One of my favorites of 2008 was the chick that wanted to be a dude, but before she fully went he, she used her female parts to get knocked up and is all prego while she's wearing a scrappy beard.
Now, what an ass####, but why on God's green Earth did a magazine go and but this idgit on the cover? I'm sure people bought the rag too. Why do they have but this schmidt in my matrix?!
Before she had her operation, she had a pregnant pause.
or was that pregnant pa's?
Hey, Andy, there's hope for you, Face Transplants!! Just think about it, all I ask. :-)
Heh, heh.
I'll take a foot transplant instead! but they aren't as easy to get as the hand transplant, you can go to any second-hand store for that!
Or, there's always the butt transplant available at you local re-tailer!
This is a sidebar but didn't the octuplet mama also had a tremendous amount of facial surgery from the looks of it.
Love those monster jokes, Ange. I've lifted more than a few from the "Arrow Book of Jokes" myself.
Col, I went back and looked at a photo of Suleman, and, yeah, looks like she mighta. Maybe she just really likes doctors.
