Face Transplantation

The New York Times has devoted an essay in its health section today to The American Journal of Bioethics Target Article on Face Transplantation. The story has, Taylor & Francis tells us, been front page news in - get this - more than 800 newspapers worldwide. The Times piece, though, is the first significant mass media editorial on face transplantation and it puts a bioethics journal squarely into the mix. We're pretty happy about that. It is all the more rewarding that the exchange comes from our friends at Hastings Center!
