The woman with no face: Part 2

Almost two years ago, I did an entry about Charla Nash, "the woman with no face".  She was brutally attacked by her friend's chimpanzee and badly disfigured and blinded.  She lost both hands.
I've noticed over the past few days an increasing number of folks have been googling "the woman with no face" and ending up on the entry I did about Charla.  A big proportion of these people are in the United Kingdom.
I figured Charla must have been in the news lately in order to stir up this renewed interest.  Perhaps she died?  So I did a little googling of my own.
She's had a successful face transplant.  She received a hand transplant at the same time, but that didn't work out for her.  
So, for all of you visiters looking for information about Charla Nash, here's the update from two months ago.

The woman with no face

This entry was made in November of 2009; if you'd like to see Charla's new face (2011), click HERE.


I don't watch Oprah, but I clicked on a link that led to an interview she did with Charla Nash, the lady who was mauled by a chimp last February. I don't know when I've been so shocked and repulsed. She has no hands, nose, lips or eyelids. She's blind. She's been in the hospital since the incident happened. If you haven't seen the clip and would like to, it's HERE. You'd better have a strong stomach, though. I watched it once, but I can't bring myself to look at it again.

She was a very beautiful woman, as you can see on the Charla Nash Trust website.

This tragedy occurred simply because somebody insisted on keeping an animal that should have stayed in the wild, treating it as though it were human. She's being sued for fifty million dollars, but let's face it: No amount of money is going to make up for what happened to Charla Nash.
