Arguing the ethics of facial transplantation.

Ashlin J, Alexander Daniel S, Alam Patrick J, Gullane Beno?t G, Lengelé Peter A, Adamson

Abstract

While 7 face transplants have been performed around the world, to date, there remains debate regarding the validity of this procedure. We submit that performing a facial transplant-in the appropriately selected patient-is technically defensible and ethically sound. By outlining the technical and ethical boundaries of the debate, responding to the key arguments against the procedure, and describing its motivations and potential benefits, we state our justification of facial transplantation.
