World's First (Partial) Face Transplant
« on: February 09, 2006, 06:39 PM »

Isabelle Dinoire a french woman had her face mauled by a dog in May 2005. She became faceless from her nosebridge down.
The world first successful partial face transplant was performed on her (according to news sources). Although i see it has far from beign succesful because the face is still disfigured but at least she has a face now.
She recently hit the spotlight after a press conference 2 days ago.
The funny thing (which is trademark of western culture) is that she has now monetized the entire saga. She had entered a deal with British documentary maker Michael Hughes to sell off her pictures for 100,000pounds.

I don't know how she looked before, only the locals and her doctors know that, there are no pictures (I didnt look at yours though now wish I had)
Anyway, tis true we have a culture which sells stories such as this and it may of course be frowned upon over there but if you think that these big flashy newspapers don't make money out of circulation and sales out of the stories that we supply then  you would be wrong
 
Look at"Hello" and OK arguing over who was going to publish pics of Michael Douglas/ Catherine Zeta Jones wedding they made Millions out of it so why shouldnt they earn big bucks as its their faces selling the mags.
Diana Princess of Wales would have made millions if she charged for her picture but she didnt, they were gutted when she died they lost a fortune! ( lets not even go there that it was their fault, thats another conversation))

Ms Dinoire had tried to commit suicide and was found by her dog who tried to wake her up but couldnt , in the process he tore her face apart, well thats what we hear anyway, could be she blew her face off with a shotgun but missed her brain, (we shall probably never know) bad publicity for the dog eh?

Anyway if she was that fed up with life why not be a guinea pig for a face transplant? They say she has an infection in her mouth because she still keeps smoking, my personal view is that it was a waste of money!!!

This person deserves to have a go, her life must be a living hell not only for her but for those who love her and worry about her future, lets hope she can go next.
This girl wants to live, she isnt planning suicide and she doesnt smoke, far better to spend money on in my opinion
