Claras Face
In this Dec. 25, 2003 photo provided by the family, Clara Beatty, then 16 months old, sits on top of a wrapped present next to a Christmas tree at home in Winnetka, Ill. Clara was born with facial deformities caused by a genetic mutation called Treacher Collins syndrome. She wears hearing aids and will likely undergo cosmetic surgery to extend her jaw and increase the size of her cheekbones when she is a teenager. (AP Photo)
