China Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Girl ends life to donate eyes to dad NADIA: For days, Mumpy would listen quietly as the elders discussed how only an eye surgery could save her father's vision and a kidney transplant her brother's life. But both surgeries were beyond the family's meagre means. So, Mumpy hit upon a plan, which to her 12-year-old mind seemed the answer to all troubles. She would kill herself, which would save the dowry, too, and her organs would give her loved ones back their lives. Mumpy did stick to her plan. But the suicide note in which she had scribbled down her wishes was found the day after she was cremated.

Forehead Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 I did. Wish I hadn't. Same with all the links to the Bunnyman stuff in the other thread, wherever it was mentioned. Having an infant has made me a lot more sensitive to child death than I used to be. I'm a wuss now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuposse87 Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 I read it, one of the most sad things I've ever come across from. Its a sad thing, but It is still...amazing to see this level of altruism to be instinctively exhibited by people.

Tenjikuronin Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 From the article: "Finding herself alone at home, Mumpy consumed Thiodan, a pesticide. Then, she ran to meet her father, who was about half a kilometre away. She told him that she had dreamt that someone had poured poison into her mouth and her stomach ached. Her alarmed father took her to a local pharmacy immediately where she was given some medicines. But her condition worsened soon and she had to be rushed to the local Baranberia hospital. From there, she was referred to Anulia hospital. But the doctors declared her brought dead," Tarafdar said Why is Thiodan (also known as Endosulfan) still in use? I thought it had been banned....

Beans Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Hoping this is a hoax... If not, I choose to be inspired by this little girl rather than saddened. Someone with her spirit would want it that way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
