Born Without A Face

[GHoSToKeR]

Right now i'm watching a documentary on TV called 'Extraordinary People: The Girl Without A Face'.. It's about this little girl (Juliana, two years old) that was born without a face.. Well, she has a face but you can't exactly call it a face.. Man, it's really sad :(

aaaaaawwwww man, that sucks i don't even know what to say about it cuz nothing comes close

[xNoa]

that's awful, watch the video on the 3rd link i couldnt even watch it, dont look real

[Lulu]

Oh poor little thing, I'm crying and no thanks
Im not gonna watch the video.
We don't know we're born half of us:(

[naturalmystic]

That truly is sad. But on the other hand, that little girl doesn't know what it's like to have a real face, so it's not as bad for her until she gets older and realizes. Thousands of Vietnamese since the 1970's have been born with birth defects including being faceless. It's a product of Agent Orange, a chemical used to trip the foliage away from trees. Truly sad.

Case closed.

I've seen MUCH worse, goddamn plutonium.
But it is sad that she has to be so plublicized, bringing her to school is like throwing a mouse into a group of cats.

[hardon]

yeah, public school definately isnt a good choice for her. does anyone else have the same fear that i do, which is if\when you have kids, they will be horribly disfigured or retarded or something??? that makes me not want to be a parent.

[Jaxx]

I was watchin that documentary as well... not very nice would be an understatement. Shes gonna be having surgery for most of her life...

[easton]

Wow, that is too depressing.....

[likemclever]

I don't even have the words.

[OzzyOz]

McCauley Caulkin feels that the worst part isnt that she doesnt have a face, the worst part is that our cruel society will judge her. our world is fucked up, poor girl

too fucking right, shell always be a 'freak' on the edges of society, us image obsessed humans will never accept her unless she has loads of surgery, even then she'll look like MJ, aaargh this pisses me off

[robert42]

yea its fucked but why exploit yourself. unless they needed them money for surgery.

channle 5 have so much fucked up stuff like:

the girl with 5 heads
or
the strongest boy


and everyday seems to be THE TOP 100 "...." every day somit else... I H8 TV NOWADAYS! BRING BACK GLADIATORS AND NOELS HOUSE PARTY!

are you trying to say you would'nt love your child as much because there disfigured or MENTALLY CHALLENGED (dont think your child would like it if you called him/her retarded). and your child wont suffer, if your child was born mentally challenged or disfigured they would'nt know any better. if a baby was born deaf the baby would'nt be sad that its deaf because the baby dos'nt know any better.

but ya i agree it would be sad. but i dont think that would STOP me from wanting to have a child. your child is your child. NO MATTER what.

[rhino44]

i saw this and it really sucks for the whole family. imagine growing up like that? i relly feel for the whole fam

[sinbin]

yeah she'll proberly be home shcooled. somone at my shcool said she watched the doc, and that t said her face would reform to a normal face when she gets older. i hope so. :(

nah im just saying that i would hold myself personally responsible, like it was my fault that a kid would turn out that way. but i agree, if i had a disfigured child, id still love him/her. how would you raise a kid like that???? do you shelter her her whole life and then make her go through it herself??? or do you put her in a public school, where children (they dont know any better....the young ones i mean) make fun of her all the time? im not even sure if this is making sense to anyone lol.

[sinbin]

i dont know what i would do. i guess i would exsplain to my child that there normal and if anyone says anything they should ignore them and tell me about it.

but i dunno, im still a child myself. im 15 in august. s0 i dunno wot i would do

[A Foo Says]

Euthanasia.

[Looker]

Hey we've all seen the wonders of modern technology in medicine today..

She will be a project for the maxillofacial surgeons at first, but if they can create a good faceplate, the rest is cosmetic and we have all seen what they can do today...

It is hideous to look at but I have hope for her...

[Looker]

Hey theyre even talking about face transplants in a few years...
