The first heart transplant was so important, as it showed doctors that it is possible to take an organ out of one human being, and make it function in another. It also saved lots of lives (and continues to do so), but unfortunately many were lost when developing immunosuporessor drugs. This was because the drugs used to prevent the body rejecting the foreign tissue (the transplanted organ) also suppressed the immune system of the patient, making them vulnerable to disease.
Since then, drugs and techniques have improved. Now, full face transplants have been shown to be possible. Transplants extend people's lies, and can now improve the quality of people's lives.
