If patients are given true and honest disclosure, and know the risks going in...why not let them decide if it is worth the possibility of death to get a new face.
As for the ethics...give me a break. What makes a face distinctive is the bone structure underlying the tissues. The tissues are pliable and of themselves have no distinct features (unless there are freckles or moles). I'd bet that the relatives of the donor would not even recognize the face as that of their loved one.
