  1. Justifying surgery's last taboo: the ethics of face transplants.Michael Freeman & Pauline Abou Jaoudé - 2007 - Journal of Medical Ethics 33 (2):76-81.
    Should face transplants be undertaken?

  • The Challenge of Transplants to an Intersubjectively Established Sense of Personal Identity.Andrew Edgar - 2009 - Health Care Analysis 17 (2):123-133.
    Face transplants have been performed, in a small number, since 2005. Popular concern over the morality of the face transplant has tended to focus on the role that one’s face plays in one’s sense of self or one’s personal identity. In order to address this concern, the current paper will explore the significance of face transplants in the light of a theory of the self that draws on symbolic interactionism, narrative theory, and accounts of embodiment.

  • Facing the Future: Media Ethics, Bioethics, and the World's First Face Transplant.Marjorie Kruvand & Bastiaan Vanacker - 2011 - Journal of Mass Media Ethics 26 (2):135 - 157.
    When the world's first face transplant was performed in France in 2005, the complex medical procedure and accompanying worldwide media attention sparked many ethical issues, including how the media covered the story. This study uses framing theory to examine what happens when media ethics intersect with bioethics by analyzing French, American, and British media coverage on the transplant and its aftermath. This study looks at how this story was framed and which bioethical issues were focused upon. The media ethical implications (...)
