This is a story that you don’t hear every day. A story of survival, of rebirth after a terrible tragedy. Sunday April 11, 2021, Seven to Eight disseminated the portrait of Priscilla, mother of a family whom Audrey Crespo-Mara met. 15 years ago, this still stable audiovisual executive hid a deep depression that made her commit the unthinkable: she threw herself under a subway train to end her life. But her gesture does not have the expected consequences, since the young woman wakes up on a hospital bed, where a horror vision awaits her. Priscilla has indeed lost both legs and right arm, which plunges her even more into her discomfort. However, it will manage to go up the slope and regain a taste for life thanks to a technological feat: it becomes the first “bionic woman” in France, with an articulated arm that she can control with thought. An immense technical advance, of which only 300 people around the world have been able to benefit.
“I would have chosen someone else“
The beautiful rebirth of “Super Jaimie”, as it is called by scientists, however, did not win unanimous support among viewers of the magazine, who were very critical. Many of them expressed their incomprehension on social networks in the face of this opportunity to which the mother of the family was entitled, even though she tried to end her life. “Sorry, but they could have chosen someone who had an accident rather than someone who wanted to kill themselves. It’s fine for her but I would have chosen someone else“writes an Internet user on Twitter. Several people believe that injured people, in particular road accidents, would have deserved more to benefit from this technology.”This woman makes a suicide attempt and takes advantage of cutting-edge technology, normal! While people who have had car accidents without cause on their part, no nothing, logical!“regrets another angry Internet user. Even if it should be noted that the technology is still at the experimental stage, and that Priscille has benefited from it at the proposal of his orthopedic technician.
I am not convinced that someone who is trying to end his life deserves so many technologies as people waiting for transplants, each case is studied, an alcoholic does not have priority over a faith transplant!

She wanted to kill herself … I think there were people, like road accident victims, who could have had priority over her
