      How she got her face reconstruction if it's a failed suicide attempt the United States should try to do combination of British & Australian gun laws because both countries have Columbine type shootings and more recently Texas Houston area in which rifles and pistols were involved.

      sourabh just so you know, to a disabled person, this comment is really kind of bullshit. They aren't there to be your inspiration porn. My aunt was a double amputee and it really hurt her feelings when people treated her like an inspiration, because it's basically saying, "Oh, at least *I* don't have to live the life that this person lives." Or "If they can do it, I surely can do it better since I don't have their disability." And I hope I don't have to explain why both of these sentences are absolutely devastating for someone to hear.

There's always this idea that we shouldn't be sad and should be happy constantly and to not feel hopeless or depressed or down but as someone once told me, "you have to feel it to heal it". So, wallow, cry for a month or more, and slowly people come out of it. True depression is something else entirely. That's something that has to be treated, but sadness is natural.

      Caddis I mean I’m speaking more in terms of how far we’ve come medically and technology wise in the whole world in as a whole in general. I’m sure in the 1600s they never would of thought such medical advances would be possible. It’s amazing to see how smart we are in those terms. I agree it all comes at a price and there is a lot of carnage in this world too. But ya gotta stop and smell the roses sometimes. Can’t be bitter about what we’ve done to the world every second. You’ll never live & as short as life is, you gotta try and make the best with what we’ve got.

    It's amazing how far science and medicine has progressed.

    I stopped everything I was doing and went to know the story of Kate and the donor. What an extraordinary thing these doctors did. How much courage this girl had. The human being is amazing in all senses. I hope this story encourages people to be givers. Best wishes, to Katie and doctors, from Brazil.
    P.S.- Sorry, the autocorretor corrected it wrong. My cell phone is set up in another language. I meant, "How much force did this mother have."(by donating her daughter's body to help another person.) I did not realize it.

The fact that she’s suffering from a chemical imbalance in her brain doesn’t means she doesn’t have a beautiful spirit. Her outlook on life changed and she’s trying to bring hope and support to other people who may feel like they have no one to turn to
