There was a story in the news a while back about a guy in the UK who got a hand transplant. Everything turned out fine, he had muscle control, nerve feedback, the whole nine yards, and everybody was all gaga about the whole thing. Up to about a year later, when the guy went back to the doctors and asked them to please amputate the hand 'cause he never could get over it psychologically that he's using somebody else's hand. I wonder what the psychological effects will be of a face transplant?
