Why, more losers

What is the deal with this face transplant muddled nonsense I keep hearing from the news. They give a few minor details but gloss over anything important and keep talking about how this woman won't recognize herself because of the "new" face she has. Does anyone have any sense? Seriously. Does anybody know how even the simplest things work. The way they just inject their own ingnorance into things and present it to people makes me so angry. Will I ever see a competent news report dealing with any kind of science?

An interesting question that I would like to find out is what happens when the transplanted parts of her face get inured. Maybe a small cut or something in that area. How does it heal? Does it heal like her original face would or like the transplanted face? How our body regenerates certain parts and not others is still not well understood. With something like this that is visible maybe they can find out more about that process. How is her body going to know how to heal this strange appendage? Will it be able to heal from injury at all. Is the genetic code contained in the transplanted parts replaced by her own? I have so many questions about this.
