Hypothetically speaking, let’s say that some astoundingly skilled therapist helps restore Michael Jackson to sanity.
Mike looks in the mirror and says, “Oh, my God! What have I done? I’m a monster! I don’t need to be young, or white, or female, but I want to look human again!”
Can his face be saved? Or has all the surgery gone past the point of no return?
If he ends up going to prison this time for pedophilia, I imagine there will be some fellow inmates who have other ideas about what to do with his face. (Step 1. Remove front teeth . . .).
This seems like a good thread to ask a question that I’ve been thinking about since all of this MJ stuff has flared up again. He has altered every aspect of his face, right? Eyes, nose, lips, cheek, chin, jaw. Nothing is left that is original, as far as I can tell. So what is it that is left of his face that still makes him recognizable as Michael Jackson? Is it only because we have seen him progress over the years? I think that there is some quality of his face that still reminds me of him many years ago, but I can’t quite figure out what.
We know that evil, white thing is MJ because 1.) We have seen him transform over the years and 2.) His name is still MJ. His voice is still the same, pretty much, maybe more mature (funny to use that word about MJ). I really can’t say his eyes are the same, the eyeballs themselves yes, the shape… no idea. His nose really terrifies me. It’s down to the absolute last nub. How can he like the way he looks? Honestly… tell me how.
“Dr Barker said he could not and would not name a date when the first face transplant would be carried out because it would create unnecessary media attention. However he said the world-wide search had already begun for a suitable person on whom the first operation could take place.”
