The ethical and moral debate is obviously going to have to take place before the first transplantation.The British Association of Plastic Surgeons will discuss the microsurgical procedure, which could give new skin, bone, nose, chin, lips and ears from deceased donors to patients disfigured by accidents, burns or cancer. But surgeons could have trouble finding enough willing donors. Butler said his survey of doctors, nurses and members of the public showed most would accept a face transplant but few were willing to donate their own after dying.Despite a number of ethical concerns, Christine Piff, who founded the charity Let’s Face It after suffering a rare facial cancer 25 years ago, welcomed the possibility of face transplants. She rejected the idea that the procedure would mean people would end up living with a dead person’s face. “There are so many people without faces, I have half a face…but we are all so much more than just a face…you don’t take on their personality. You are still you,”she told reporters. “If we can donate other organs of the body then why not the face. I can’t see anything wrong with it.26.

The main difficulty with the operation lies in the matter of ethics and morality.D. Nobody other than Christine Piff is quite in favor of the donation of organs.30.

While the characteristics of friendship might vary from one country to another, people from all cultures not only enjoy friends but need them.Many studies have shown that teenagers who have no friends often suffer from psychological disorders. It has been shown that teenagers, perhaps more than any age group, need companionship and a sense of belonging. The negative consequences of loneliness have also been observed among the elderly. The death of a spouse（配偶）often leaves a widow or widower totally bereft. If, however, they are surrounded by friends and relatives and if they are able to articulate their feelings, they are more likely to recover from their grief.“No man is an island.” In other words, we are all parts of society. We all need the love, admiration, respect and moral support of other people. If we are fortunate, our friends will provide us with all of these necessary aspects of life.As most people observe, there are many levels of friendship. The degree or intensity of friendship varies depending on the personality of the individuals involved and the context of the relationships. Extroverts（性格外向者）enjoy being surrounded by many people whereas introverts are perhaps content with fewer but more intense friendship.Everyone is not equally open with all their friends. The degree of intimacy（隐私）is determined by many factors. Close friends can be formed at any stage in on e’s life but they are usually very rare. Not very many people have more than a few really close friends. Irrespective of the level of intimacy, all friendships are based on reciprocity（互惠）, honesty and a certain amount of love and affection.31.
