Thats pretty nifty... think about the repercussions of criminal fingerprinting. Haha, well, that was the first thing I thought of. Interesting article though.

Yeah the fingerprint thing was one of the first things I thought of too, I could just imagine if in a case like this, the recipient becomes a criminal and then the fingerprints he leaves are from someone who is deceased...it sounds like a crazy movie. : )

Oh, crazy! I was just reading about the face transplant lady, too. It's so weird what they can do now.
And, I'm from Bay City! lol. But I didn't know that guy. :)

I always forget you're from Bay City... I think I told you this already but I grew up in Saginaw and in Reese which is really close to there. My dad and sister both work in Bay City now. : )

I always forget that you're from "up north" too! Although when I lived in Bay City (actually Kawkawlin) I considered West Branch and north as "up north," lol. Where do your dad and sister work?

My dad works at GM and my sister works at a rehab home for people with head injuries, called Riversbend.

ha! why am I not surprised that it would be you who would introduce that particular benefit to the list? ; )

Clearly there are all kinds of other benefits, but this benefit shouldn't be ignored. I assume the pre-owned hand doesn't have nearly the same amount nerves connected, so it would feel like someone else's hand I'd assume.

Hey April! Howya been?
