Houston Chronicle, Jan. 7, 2009 In this Letter to the Editor, UTMB's Dr. Howard Brody addresses an early editorial about the ethics of facial transplants. "As member of a group at the University of Texas Medical Branch-Galveston who have been studying the ethics and technical feasibility of facial transplants, I, along with the Facial Transplant Team at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, on whose behalf I am also writing, believe that the Jan. 4 editorial on this topic made an important point but also downplayed important ethical concerns."
