It's all very French. This woman is a failed suicide because her Labrador scratched her face until she woke up after too much wine and sedatives. The woman whose face she received is a failed suicide who hanged herself and was on life support long enough to harvest tissue from the nose down.
The real victim is the pooch who was only trying to save her life and was put down.
Think on this a bit...
"The woman whose face she received is a failed suicide"
The donor was a successful suicide. The recipient is widely rumored to have been a failed suicide.
Very sad, indeed, when you put it that way.
Good grief. I hadn't heard the background with the dog and the suicides. What a sad, strange situation.
