Fact has Officially Caught Up With Fiction.

Well, it was put on the table a year ago, and it is now ready to go as the BBC reports.

Folks, the concept of swapping faces with another person in Face-Off was released as a flight of fancy within an action movie in 1997. Six years later, fun-loving scientists bring you the option of transplanting your face. Yup. No, serious. For very real.

So far, they say it’s only considered for the horribly disfigured, but at a time, so was plastic surgery. So if I have anything to say about it, I’ll be able to purchase a Brad Pitt mold at the store for 10 bucks. Very nice. There’s still hope.

You may want to keep this in mind, just in case you fancy yourself an omnipotent crimelord who’s constantly being harrassed by some supercop who’s stolen your face.
