听力原文： Full face transplant are no longer science fiction fantasy, a leading surgeon has said, adding that they are technically feasible but morally complex. Peter Butler from London's Royal Free Hospital called for a debate on the morality of(29)such an operation made possible by new drugs which stop the body's immune system rejecting a transplanted face. (30)"It is not 'can we do it？' but 'should we do it？'," he told the BBC. "The technical part is not complex, but I don't think that's going to be the very great difficulty... The moral debate is obviously going to have to take place before the first facial transplantation."
The British Association of Plastic Surgeons will discuss the microsurgical procedure, which could give new skin, bone, nose, chin, lips and ears from diseased donors(31)to patients disfigured by accidents, burns or cancer. But surgeons could have trouble finding enough willing donors. (32)Butler said his survey of doctors, nurses and members of the public showed most would accept a face transplant but few were willing to donate their own after dying.
Despite a number of moral concerns, Christine Piff, who founded the charity Let's Face It after suffering a rare facial cancer 25 years ago, welcomed the possibility of face transplants. She rejected the idea that the procedure would mean people would end up living with a dead person's face. "There are so many people without faces, I have half a face... but we all so much more than just a face... you don't take on their personality. You are still you, "she told reporters. "If we can donate other organs of the body, then why not the face？ I can't see anything wrong with it."

Understanding Partnership
The Uniform. Partnership Act defines a partnership as "an association of two or more persons to carry on as co-owners of a business for a profit." The partnership came into being us an evolutionary outgrowth of the proprietorship by correcting stone of tile disadvantages of that ownership form. The formation of a partnership is relatively simple, but because it involves two or more people, it must be based upon an understanding between the partners. In other words, a contract is required. Although the contract can be oral. it is wiser to have so important a document drawn up by an attorney. A contract of this sort is called the Articles of Co-partnership.
Partnership has ninny advantages. Firstly, it is relatively simple to organize and dissolve. Although not as simple to organize as a sole proprietorship because Articles of Co-partnership are required, partnerships are simpler and less expensive to form. than corporations. Second[y, it is subject to less government control. As is the case with sole proprietorships, partnerships are not controlled by the same federal and state laws as are corporations. Thirdly, it can keep larger tax savings. Unlike corporations, partnerships are not legal entities. Partnerships, therefore, do not have special taxes levied on them. Finally, it may provide a high personal incentive. Because the partnership business is carried on by working owners, this form. of business ownership retains the high incentive of the sole proprietorship. The partners are working for themselves, and consequently are rewarded for extra effort.
Although many of the advantages of a sole proprietorship are carried over into partnership, many of its disadvantages are as well. Like the sole proprietorship, partnerships have the disadvantages of unlimited liability. This means that in the case of bankruptcy of the business, both partners' personal assets must be used to settle partnership debts. When one partner's investment plus his personal assets are insufficient to meet his share of the creditor's claims, these debts must be settled by the remaining partner or partners. Furthermore, it is difficult to raise money for partnership and the disagreements among partners may easily result in the failure of the partnership.
The form. of partnership previously discussed is that of a general partnership. There are other forms of partnership available to businessmen which have specific advantages or overcome specific disadvantages of the general partnership.
A limited partnership is one in which the liability of one or more of the partners is limited to the amount invested by him. A limited partnership must have at least one general partner whose liabilities are unlimited. Limited partnerships take advantage of the tax savings available to partnerships while maintaining some of the capital-raising resources available to corporations. However. they are legally complicated and expensive to set up; further, any activity by a limited partner may result in the loss of his limited status (and his limited liability); and they are not permitted to do business in all states.
A joint venture is a partnership that has been set up for one specific undertaking. Upon completion of the undertaking, the joint venture is dissolved. Unlike a general partnership, the joint venture is not a continuing business. However, this need not be the case. The prime characteristic is its limitation to one specific venture.
According to the text, partnership is derived from
