环球慢速英语 脸部移植的争论(6)

Voice 1: Some people are concerned about face transplants¹ for moral² reasons. They say that the operation puts looks above health. Face transplants are very dangerous. This danger may be too great just for the way a person looks. But other experts argue that living with a face that looks very strange can have terrible effects too. It can force a person to live alone, afraid of people’s reactions.

Voice 2: Technology for face transplants will create new choices for people. This is not just for people who have suffered injuries. It includes people with other problems - such as diseases³ that mark their faces. Doctors have the technology to give people whole new faces - if they wish.
