Story Suicides gone wrong

[maniac116]

I saw another post- probably on this thread-about a CTB attempt winding up with a face transplant. The same thought ran through my mind both times ….Here in the US when someone needs a liver transplant for example , the healthier candidates go to the top of the list. So if you're an alcoholic that has admittedly done the damage to yourself, you're probably not at the top. Since face transplants are so rare I just keep wondering why they make such the effort for someone that tried to end their life. I'm not saying it's wrong. I just question it. Especially since I have no idea how someone's face is determined to be sufficient enough to transplant onto another. It is still pretty rare.

Also, do we really believe that last part? That guy went through hell with his injury and now has a new appreciation for life? What about his depression from before the accident? And the transplant will affect him for the rest of his life. I always find it hard to believe it just magically goes away.

Again, I am not arguing with this, just spewing my nonsensical thoughts. Just goes to show this is an interesting thread that can really make you stop and think.

What you're saying makes perfect sense!!
There's just nothing in this life that's fair & equitable. Nothing at all...

Pennsylvania Man Cuts Off Arm, Hand With Electric Saw In Botched Suicide Attempt

A Pennsylvania man who cut off his arm and hand was trying to take his life, according to police in Philadelphia.
"It was an attempted suicide," Philadelphia police spokeswoman Jillian Russell told The Huffington Post.
The incident occurred on the evening of October 12, inside a home in in Northeast Philadelphia.
A 34-year-old man, who is not being identified, cut off one of his arms below the elbow with an electric saw. Afterward, he cut the hand off the amputated arm and hid the body parts inside his home, police said.
The man was taken to Albert Einstein Medical Center for treatment.

"He's still in critical condition," Russell said.

Investigators are still trying to determine why the man wanted to take his life.
