3/8. The World's First Face Transplant. In November 2005, Isabelle Dinoire , a 38-year-old mother of two, became the first recipient of a face transplant. The decision to operate sparked a fierce ethical debate. We hear from those - such as former British soldier
Simon Weston - who might have benefited had the procedure been available sooner, as well as surgeons who remain unconvinced that face transplants are in the best interests of the patient. And while the rest of the world argues over the rights and wrongs of the decision, Isabelle sets about rebuilding her life. Producer Naomi Austin ; Series editor Andrew Cohen
