Several weeks ago the news was plastered everywhere that a woman Isabelle Diroir had had a face transplant. As it turns out she had a nose, lips and chin grafted from the face of a dead woman. As the story developed, Isabelle’s 17 year old daughter stated that the reason the woman needed a face transplant was because she had overdosed on sleeping pills, Her daughter said “We don’t know whether the dog bit or clawed her, but it managed to pull her awake. In a way, it was lucky for her that the dog was there."
Two days ago a local TV news spot featured a woman who had been subdued by an air marshal several years ago. This piece was in reference to the person shot by an air marshal in Miami, last week. She stated that she had been flying to Alaska to end her life. She was drugging and her life was a mess. She spent a number of years in prison for her stint. She was upset at the air marshal that ended the unruly passenger's life in Miami. She stated her gratitude for the air marshal that saved her life. She talked about having something to live for now that she has cleaned up her life.
It strikes me about how many different ways there are to save a person’s life. I understand that when a person spirals into despair, there has to be something to shake them from their intentions. I guess it could be concluded that saviors come in different ways, and sometimes in different species as well.
