The face transplant recipient Isabelle Dinoire has signed a movie deal.

I’m speechless, but Jon Moreno and Rosamond Rhodes are not:

“Physicians are supposed to protect their patients who must be emotionally vulnerable in this situation,” said Moreno, a professor of biomedical ethics at the University of Virginia. “Her psychological counseling should have included assessing the implications of this offer.”

Dinoire was likely acting in her own best interest when she signed the deal, said bioethicist Rosamond Rhodes, a professor of medical education at the Mount Sinai Medical School in New York City.

“Even if her medical expenses are fully covered by the French national health system, it is hard to see how she would have had an income since she was mauled, how she can work during her recovery or how she will find employment in the future,” Rhodes said.
