A French woman severely disfigured by facial tumors is found dead just two days after a court rejected her request for an assisted suicide. It was not immediately clear how 52-year-old Chantal Sebire died but her case has prompted nominally Roman Catholic France to reexamine its stance on euthanasia (CNN.com).

She was the same age as my mom. We often take our health and APPEARANCE for granted. We want to be taller, thinner, stronger. We want bigger eyes, clearer skin, and better hair. If you had to choose between being blind or deaf, what would you choose? I would choose being blind, so I wouldn't be so concerned with physical beauty. I'm sure that more than the physical pain, Chantal Sebire probably suffered more psychologically and emotionally. God, save us from vanity!
