Most medical advances benefit the living. This one’s for the dead. Sometime in the coming weeks or months, a brain-dead person, probably a man, will be wheeled into the plastic surgery department at @nyulangone. A technician will slowly run a scanner over his face, recording the tiniest contour and detail. Surgeons will cut off the dying person’s face and attach it to a disfigured man who has been waiting for a face transplant since last summer. And then a team of @nyuniversity 3-D printing experts will work their own magic. They aim to generate a replica of the donor’s scanned face that will make his family members will feel comfortable using it for their loved one’s burial, even in an open coffin. Asking a family to donate a loved one’s face is not like asking for a heart or a lung. @nyuniversity’s hope is simple: that a better replacement face will encourage more families of potential donors to say yes, reducing the wait time for the tiny but desperate pool of candidates for face transplants. So how exactly would it work? Visit the link in our profile to read the full story, and to see more photos by @vincenttullo.
