"Society may not be quite ready for the day when a dead person's face is
recycled for the living - but that day is coming...

... Faces are the most visible portion of human identities. They're how we
think of ourselves, how others recognize us. The possibility of altering
that identity so radically - a science-fiction plot device made real - could
make people recoil, perhaps eroding support for the operation.":
