Imagine meeting the man wearing your deceased brother's face..

That is exactly what happened to Rebekah Aversano. She lost her brother Joshua after he was hit by a car in 2012. Her family agreed to donate Joshua's face to ensure that more than just his memory would live on.

Norris, who was in need of the transplant, had accidentally shot himself in the face at 22 years old. He was left disfigured until receiving Josh's face nearly 15 years later, according to NBC News.

Now, Rebekah Aversano will meet Norris for the first time in a 60 Minutes Australia special. In the show's emotional promo clip, Aversano recognizes her brother's features immediately.
