It´s good to know that it´s more face transplant since first face transplant in France at 3 years ago. I hope it does the same with the chimp´s victim as well.

I agree. Seven years is not enough. I want that man to stay in prison for a very long time.

Actually, but a lady is alive. They would put him in jail for a long time if lady is dead.

CLEVELAND - The woman who had the nation's first face transplant says it was the smell of soap that made her realize her new face was working.

Connie Culp also says she still thinks about how she looked before her husband shot her in a failed murder-suicide in 2004.

In an interview Friday with ABC's "Good Morning America," the 46-year-old Unionport, Ohio, woman said she forgives her husband, who went to prison for seven years. The blast shattered her nose, cheeks, the roof of her mouth and an eye.

Culp says she now feels great walking down the street.

She came forward this week at a news conference at the Cleveland Clinic, where doctors in December replaced 80 percent of her face with bone, muscles, nerves, skin and blood vessels from a woman who had died. Prior to the transplant, Culp had endured 30 operations to try to fix her face. Doctors took parts of her ribs to make cheekbones and fashioned an upper jaw from one of her leg bones. She had countless skin grafts from her thighs. Still, she was unable to eat solid food, breathe on her own, or smell.

It was the fourth face transplant in the world, though the others were not as extensive. In April, doctors at Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston performed the nation’s second face transplant, on a man disfigured in a freak accident. The first, in 2005, was performed in France on Isabelle Dinoire, a woman who had been mauled by her dog.

Sentences varies from state to state, There are some who had served 14 years for attempted murder, 7 years is nothing. That explains why we have higher crimes here. :hmm:

Connie had went under so many surgeries, and that should have gave that man who shot her a longer sentence. So therefore, I entirely disagree with the 7 years sentencing.
 
Wow!!!! That's amazing and I am happy for her. What a big improvement!


yep, i am an organ donor.
