Abstract:
The first successes of total hand and partial face transplants raise several philosophical and ethical questions. This paper examines the perspective of the recipient, the donor and the social aspect. The question of the identity remains unsolved. Philosophical point of view shows an historical continuity in the desire of the human being for improving his condition.
