Near-certain death is no reason for a preventative masectomy, you see. She won't fill out the bikini as well, and that has certain people feeling like their rights have been violated.
Eye candy trumps medical advice. I mean, clearly. Only some kind of ethically challenged moron would argue otherwise.

This is, after all, America. Tits or GTFO.
I finally get to use this emoticon!

Well at least beauty pageants have become more openly a human sacrifice. In my day they would starve themselves with anorexia to look pretty appease the volcano
Oh, America.
I hope to fuck she wins, and carves that shit off, and maybe gets a little fat post-op, and then is all "Hey guess what? Fuck you guys, I'm AWESOME" and then gets a PhD and lives to be 100 and invents a cure for cancer.
THAT still wouldn't show those fuckers, because they're stupid, but at least they'd be dead and she'd still be AWESOME.

I hope she does what's in her best interest, and just ignores the shitbags.
Seriously. How do these people live with themselves? "Our ability to ogle pictures of you at pageants is more important than your actual life."
Fuck that, if she thinks this is what will A) Reduce her risk of getting cancer at 25 or so, and B) reduce her fear of cancer, then she should do it. Boobs aren't actually necessary.
What pisses me off is that half of the involved or questioned medical professionals are against it because "it might send the wrong message". FUCK, SHE'S A HUMAN BEING, NOT A GODDAMNED BILLBOARD.
This is one reason I am against pageants. They turn people into objects. Also, they haven't been the same since Burt Parks kicked the bucket.
It's interesting. She explains everything that's going on, that's in her family history. Gene mutations and all that. How she's lived with her mom's (and grandmother's and aunt's) death and her own concerns.
Then someone decides since she doesn't have cancer right NOW, she's mutilating her body for no reason.
That right there? That's MURICA.
Ignorance of preventative measures does seem to be an especially American (human) trait.
