A New Wonder In Science (Face Transplant)
Recently in France there was a procedure being carried out, known as transplantation of the face. We have all seen a movie known as “Face Off” and it just looked like a science fiction thing, but that has come into reality. This operation was carried out on a woman’s face and this is the first partial face transplant. Her views after seeing herself were that she is really amazed to see her new face and has no regrets that she has gone through the operation.
The circumstances under which the woman was transplanted with the partial face were that she was mauled by her own dog, Labrador, under circumstances still unclear. In that attack the woman lost her mouth, lips and chin and her face was completely disfigured.
Her comment after seeing herself in the mirror was, “It was amazing to see a nose and mouth on my face again.”
This revolutionary operation took place last month in which the doctors grafted a nose, chin, lips from a donor who was brain dead onto her face.
According to the woman there are still no sensations on her face because of the nerves not yet working well.
This is an amazing step in the world of science, as it has provided a reason to live for a person who could have lived in a room closed shut and all depressed, but now has another chance to live a normal life and move around the malls where there is no fear that she couldn’t move around with people anymore and the biggest fear that she might try to commit suicide.
I believe that this procedure will help a lot of people who have disfiguration of their face through diseases or injuries can now have another chance to get theirselves back in shape where they can live a normal life and come out under the clouds of depression and isolation.
Salute to all the researchers and scientists working for the betterment of humanity.
