BBC's main headline all day today has been about British doctors given the permission to do the first full face transplant. This is serious stuff, potentially giving the recipients social acceptance, better quality of life and so on. The idea of transplants is old now but a face transplant alters the born identity of the recipient. I will let it be somebody's else headache to deal with identity & security issues that comes with this type of transplant.
MJ would have been the saddest person today. He would be going "Damn! I should have just waited for a white guy to be almost dead". Can you imagine a 70 year old getting a face transplant from a 30 year old? What a disappointment for the lady when he pops the blue pill. I wouldnt mind getting a face transplant from a female it if means I dont have to ever shave my face again in my life!
Anyways, the transplant debate reminds me of some catch phrases on DART buses to promote organ donor awareness in Dallas
"Organ donors are better livers"
"Have a change of heart. Be an organ donor"
What would you come up with? How about
"Being an organ donor is a no-brainer" (slightly insensitive, I know)
"Can you lend your ear? You dont even have to listen"
"Wanna be a kidney donor? Ur In!!"

HINDI SONG STYLE -
akha bollywood has been giving hints to encourage organ doners for a long time now, particularly heart donors
heart transplant: aaj se jaaneman .. dil hai tumhara.
multiple transplants: dil, jigar, nazar kya hai.. main to tere liye jaan bhi de doon.
the classic heart doners invited song: hum to dil chahen tumhara
a lil aggressive donation number: mera man tera pyaasa...
limbs plus eye transplant: mere mehboob tujhe meri mohabbat ki kasam.. phir mujhe marmari haaton ka sahara de de.. mera khoya hua rangeen nazara de de (creepy, huh?!)
u'll find them all over our bollywood numbers, trust me... it's a guerilla campaign.
