By removing breasts to protect
against cancer Angelina Jolie has given a wrong message to all world women. It
was a direct insult to poor women who are unable to get a square meal a day.
How poor women could diagnosis cancer and remove breast by a surgery spending
thousands of thousands of rupees? Perhaps Jolie could avoid cancer death with
surgery, nevertheless how could she avoid death by heart failure and other diseases
which outweigh cancer deaths? Therefore there is no point in accepting
Jolie’s action and what we need is to develop a more open minded attitude to
take things as they come.
It is surprising that we take seriously
the people like Jolie who own plenty of money to spend lavishly. It was better
on the part of ‘mother of six’ to live without influencing others for wrong
decision making.
Moreover, Jolie has been
admitted to heroin addiction, low self-esteem and anorexia in the past. She has
the wealth and access to the world's best doctors and hence she is not a role
model for average woman. Her choice of removing breast is neither logical, nor
advisable and cause body integrity disorder. The metabolism of human body is
something unpredictable and hence doctors should denounce the practice of
amputating healthy tissues.
