'Life is such a blessing': The incredible bravery of Pakistani women who suffered horrific acid attacks in the name of 'family honour'

After six years of abuse, Allah Rakhi was walking out of her marriage when her husband struck again. Snatching a knife, he sliced off her nose. 'You're no longer beautiful!' he shouted.
He then slashed at her foot - brutal punishment for leaving the house without his permission.
'A woman is only a woman inside the home, outside she's a whore!' he yelled at Rakhi as she lay bleeding on the dusty street just outside her home.
That was 32 years ago.

Formerly Conjoined Twins Thrive After Separation Surgery

Once-conjoined twins Angelina and Angelica have been given a clean bill of health from their doctors! You’d never believe they were once joined at the chest!

Angelina and Angelica Sabuco were officially given a clean bill of health by their doctors six months after their separation surgery!

Their plastic surgeon Peter Lorenz said the 2-year-olds are right on track and once they are grown there will be no evidence they were ever conjoined, the Huffington Post reports.
The Californian twins were born attached at the chest and abdomen. Six months ago, Dr. Peter and his medical team from Stanford University’s Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital performed their separation surgery and implanted plates in each twin’s chest in place of their missing sternums.
