Man With A Face Transplant by UmericanGirl(f): 12:32am On Oct 18, 2012
http://www.foxnews.com/health/2012/10/17/man-who-received-first-full-face-transplant-doing-great-7months-after-procedure/

Seven months after receiving the most extensive full face transplant ever completed, 37-year-old Richard Lee Norris has been undergoing a successful recovery – regaining the ability to speak and show expression. The University of Maryland has recently released details on his amazing progress.

Norris, from Hillsville, Va., suffered a severe injury in 1997 when a gun accident resulted in the loss of his upper and lower jaws, along with his lips and nose. According to Norris, he has spent the past 15 years as a hermit, hiding behind a surgical mask and rarely going out in public. Now, he said the transplant surgery has not only transformed his face – but his life as well.

“People used to stare at me because of my disfigurement,” Norris said in a statement. “Now they can stare at me in amazement and in the transformation I have taken. I am now able to walk past people and no one even gives me a second look. My friends have moved on with their lives, starting families and careers. I can now start working on the new life given back to me."

See what acid or bullet from a jealous lover or armed robber can do to the body. We are scared of such things and especially of terrorists. Meanwhile Jesus advised
"To you my friends I say 'Do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. I will tell u whom to fear: fear him who, after he has killed, has the power to throw into hell. Yes, I tell you, he is the one to fear.'" Luke 12:4-5

Be wise friend, FEAR GOD

The cosmetic surgeons are really getting better with the procedure and geting better results. The first successful face transplant was too distorted and weird looking.
