i think this vid should be posted anytime somebody starts whining or flaming about some stupid crap that doesnt even matter. ie:yagt, religious flame wars, etc.

kudos to her parents for taking it all in and not giving up. its easy for parents with normal children to think they have it hard sometimes, myself included, but few things even come close to dealing with that.

on a positive note, i just read in discover magazine that they were able to regrow a mans jaw using a mold and some bone marrow stems cells. hopefully one day they can use something similiar to give this poor girl a face.

Someone needs to show this girl to Oprah. She would make some things happen for her for sure.

IF YOU CRY EASILY OR DO NOT LIKE TO SEE DEFORMED KIDS DO NOT WATCH!!!

QFT!!!

I don't cry much but that thing almost brought me to tears

this is very sad.

but i don't think anyone should say "i don't want a family" because of this. this is extremely rare. as the OP says, count your blessings, and feel for those in need.
