Malala chose the titanium over her own bone fragment . Only her skin and soft cranial tissues stand between the outside world and her brain , and that 's not enough . Doctors in Pakistan had removed the fragment to save her life , when her brain swelled . She was rushed into a coma and died shortly after. Malala has a great sense of humor . The Pakistani Taliban tried to kill her for standing up for girls ' right to an education .
