Personally, I think she simply is getting older, wanted a boob job, but then her publicist thought of a way for her to get one without getting negative press. Not really rocket science. I'm really surprised the MSM (and the public) are falling for it, but then again, I really shouldn't be.

I may come off as insensitive to this, but I wonder how many women would feel differently if it was a woman they despise, such as Britney Spears, doing this, rather than Angelina Jolie. Would they be so quick to deny my accusation? Or, would they jump on the bandwagon? Hmm....
Personally I think you should get out more. She watched her mother DIE of breast cancer.
So, you have jumped on this particular bandwagon because you despise her and simply cannot think objectively.
Im assuming you are talking about the surgery here (your thoughts are far too all over the place for me to be sure). If so, EVERY surgery could be classified as trauma. Dont want it? Dont have it. It really is that simple, and you have absolutely NO RIGHT to tell people what they should or shouldnt do.
That is TRAUMA. Trauma, something that the likes of me, a person raised by a true pathological liar stepdad, has endured something that might give an ounce of insight into.
Again, shock tactics have no place in this conversation, and it is a desperate tactic to try and use them. NO SURGERY IS PRETTY. Again, no one is making you watch.
See for youself, what this person, who is desensitized to images of war, death, carnage, mass murder, gore and brutality is incapable of ever again watching: Breast Reduction Surgery
And? Geez, you arent even out in left field....you're playing in a whole different stadium. That you have a hard time with surgeries has absolutely no relevance to this topic.
never again will I deliberately watch such true life socially induced mutiliationary carnage. Do with these facts what you will. Those images I've seen of Iraqi's that were tortured by drillbits powered by drills, this is all my likewise kryptonite.
Now you're just being obtuse. If you think this has any relation to most plastic surgeries, you are fooling yourself.
She's so brave!!!!! Yes, as "is"everyone who lives by the live-by plastic surgery, mythos.
To think that ANY woman would use breast cancer as a ruse to get a boob job is just the most cynical and unfeeling thing I can imagine.

Angelina made the brave decision to have the procedure after doctors told her she was a carrier of the BRCA1 cancer gene.
The news was made all the more personal by the fact that Angelina lost her mother Marcheline Bertrand to ovarian cancer when she was just 56.
Her Dr. told her she had a 87% chance of getting cancer.
L ink
Lot's of people get cancer in every career field, I don't think there is a higher % of actors dying of it. And it flies in the face of the theory of a super-secret cancer cure. No rich person would die of cancer if it were true.

3. She's known about the risk factor for SIX YEARS.
I just don't see elective surgery that will improve your looks as being "brave"....
What I despise is the way she's being hailed as some kind of hero for this.

The skin covering the breast is irrelevant. The breast tissue is the blood vessels, lymph vessels, lymph nodes, lobules, fat, ducts, and sometimes muscle that lie underneath the skin. That is the breast, not the skin covering it. And to go in there and scrape that all out is a delicate operation (not to mention VERY painful), much more so than an incision and implantation.

Just so you know, if Sarah Palin or Michelle Bachmann had made this announcement, I would have immediate and unwavering support, sympathy and sensitivity for them ON THIS ISSUE. Not being able to separate my feelings about them from the critical issue of breast cancer, would say something about me that I would be highly embarrassed to admit. To think that ANY woman would use breast cancer as a ruse to get a boob job is just the most cynical and unfeeling thing I can imagine.

Insurance covers it if you have the extremely high risk genetic marker. It's cheaper for the insurance companies to pay for the surgery than to pay for all the cancer treatments.
