A full face transplant

While browsing for articles, i came across a very intriguying story about a man who recieved a full face transplant. According to the article, the anonymous man was in an accident five years ago and he lost his face. That was actually very shocking because i never heard anything like that before. However, a hospital in Madrid, Spain performed the surgery and suceeded. They gave him a new nose, cheeckbones, teeth, skin, jaws, and other features. The hospital would not reveal the man's name, or details of his accident five years ago, but they did say that he was a spaniard between the ages of 20 and 40. The man is expected to be hospitalized for two months.

In my opinion, this was a very miraculous story. I enjoyed reading this article because i never heard of a full face transplant before. On the other hand, i am so happy that this man can have a face again and i hope that he has a full recovery. It is just wonderful that we have the technology to do great things in the world.
