Chris Hallam. Handtransplant that he had done in France - and had to go to London to have it removed.
Last year, Mr Hallam begged doctors to remove the hand, saying he felt "mentally detached" from it.
His request was turned down by the French doctor who co-led the surgical team on the grounds that the body was inviolable under French law.
At the time, Mr Hallam told a newspaper in London that he often kept the hand hidden because it is so unsightly. The transplanted hand was wider and longer than his own, the flesh a different colour and the skin flaky.

for someone who cannot mentally accept another human hand as transplant: these new advances would be an ideal solution. Much harder than ears or noses though.
