This subject had taken the media by storm. If I say others will follow just because they want to be like Angelina Jolie, even if they are not high risk, they will find a doctor - it is true; don't under estimate the power of persuasion.
Jesicha's Hope views are that it is a barbaric approach to trying to lower a risk of cancer when there are more prudent approaches that would not mutilate a person. Remember just because you take off or out where the cancer could start does not mean those cells are not elsewhere - without proactive living and monitoring, the risk is still there. We do not have to live in fear, we need only live proactively and be ready if something happens, there are more proven answers to treat the cancer if it did appear. Mutilation is not one of them, nor poisoning or burning.
