This video is a critique on the use of real human faces in the Bioshock series and the larger ethical implications attached to human likeness. Below is a list of my references and the medical archive I sourced my images from. Don’t hesitate to let me know your thoughts in the comments, I always try to respond!

This video is educational and therefore falls under fair use. All music is sourced from the Bioshock 2 Soundtrack.
