The creepy thing is, on the news station that I heard about this (ABC, I believe... I can't recall), they said that the woman whose parts were used was braindead... they didn't make any mention of her situation other than such. CNN just says "cadaver" there. I don't know what to make of this.

Hmm. Braindead and cadaver are two entirely different states of being. I certainly hope the donor was dead when they took her face! Eep...

The article states that "Siemionow said the patient never saw a photo of the donor and said, 'the donor never looks like the recipient. The recipient never looks like the donor.' " Besides, parts of the woman's face were left. I would think she won't look like the donor at all.
Also, getting back to this not being a "life or death" situation, would Peter A Clark also object to
this surgery and
this?
