  I don’t think I would no…I don’t think they can do face transplants for one and it would be wierd to think of someone walking around looking like me after I am gone! I would donate my organs though to someone that needs them after I am dead.

  Probably not. i know it’s a good thing to do but it freaks me a bit! It’s been done a few times, first in France but the facial features are those if the recipient not the donor becasue of the bone structure of the skull being the major facial feature.

  I would once I was dead. I’d love any part of my body to be used for transplant if it could be. Or if I developed a disease and it would useful for scientists to look at my body once I was dead that’s fine by me. I think of my body as a vessel for my energy. I need to keep it fit and healthy whilst I am alive so I can do all of the things that I want to. When I am dead, my body is no use to my energy, if it can help someone else then I’ll gladly give it!

  The face wouldn’t look like mine once it was wrapped around a different skull, so I wouldn’t worry about it being “my face” still out there!

  Thats an interesting question- i would like to donate other parts of my body to people who needed but i’mnot sure about my face because my friends and family might not like the thought that my face would be on someone else and they could bump into me- it would upset them
