Surgeons transplant a piece of dog shit into a journalist's head and throw the brain away

Surgeons engraft an entire face

Micro surgeons in the USA have, for the first time in the world's history, transplanted an almost entire face [...] 80 per cent of the face was replaced [...]not included were only the forehead, the eyelids, the lower lip and the chin.

You are now wondering what's so wrong. I know what you are thinking, and you are right: I am complaining about the fact that the headline says "entire face" and in the end it's only one of the stupid ways to seduce a reader into reading more. In the end, it's only "almost" an entire face. When you think of a face and substract all the things mentioned above, what you have is by far not a real face, it's more like a ghost/alien face.

But it's more than that.... and you want to know why? Well, I will try to explain what I hate about this sort of thing... and it not only goes for surgery, it goes for global warming and lots of other things. Maybe you will understand when I use this example (fictional):

January 5 2010: Surgeons transplant a whole face! [...] the only facial features not transplanted were forehead, eyelids and chin.

May 22 2012: Surgeons transplant an entire face! [...] the only parts that were not transplanted were: forehead and chin. It was the first time that a face was transplanted like this!

December 5 2015: Almost dead person receives a brand new face! [...] The face was complete. Only the chin was not included in the package.

June 30 2020: Big sensation: Patient receives an entire face from a dead person! It was the first time that a complete face with all facial features was moved from one body to another. It has never happened before in the history of the world!

This is how it goes... and when I mentioned global warming, it's the same thing: Scientists have found out that global warming is caused by humans... they are 60 per cent sure. Now they are 64 per cent sure. Now they are 68 per cent sure. Now they have new evidence, and now more, and more again, and yet again, and now they are totally sure, and now suddenly it's not the humans' fault, and now it is again, and of course it's the first time in history! Wow!

I'm going to write another entry soon, this time about science myths. I'm fed up with these things so I have to let them out.
