I wouldn’t have thought that you could take the face from a dead person and put it on what is left of the face of another person that used to have one. Apparently, I am a bit behiand the times. This has been done four or five times already.

One of the latest ones occurred at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio, where a lady whose face was shot off with a shotgun by her husband received a face transplant. She’s undergone 30 or more surgeries, had several skin grafts from her thighs, and even had part of a rib removed to build her a new jawbone.

Can you imagine what she must have gone through? The simple answer is probably, “No.” Her husband then proceeded to shoot himself after he tried to take her out. God does do some amazing things. This whole procedure is a modern-day miracle. This woman can now breathe on her own now that she actually has a nose, and she can also taste cookies and pizza again!
