If you could change face, which one would you like ????

Seems that the Travolta-Cage movie ( Face Off ) is no more sci-fi :

Surgeon hopes new face gives new outlook
Plans advancing for world's first face transplant

CLEVELAND, Ohio (AP) -- In the next few weeks, five men and seven women will secretly visit the Cleveland Clinic to interview for the chance to have a radical operation that's never been tried anywhere before.

They will smile, raise their eyebrows, close their eyes, open their mouths. Dr. Maria Siemionow will study their cheekbones, lips and noses. She will ask what they hope to gain and what they most fear.

Then she will ask, "Are you afraid that you will look like another person?"

Because whomever she chooses will endure the ultimate identity crisis.

Siemionow wants to attempt a face transplant.

This is no extreme TV makeover. It is a medical frontier being explored by a doctor who wants the public to understand what she is trying to do: give people horribly disfigured by burns, accidents or other tragedies a chance at a new life. Today's best treatments still leave many of them with freakish, scar-tissue masks that don't look or move like natural skin.

watched a special on this its not like the movie if they took your face off and put on some else's face say Brad Pitt . It would nt look like Brad because the underlining bone structure is different so you get a totally different person.
