ok so the poor woamn just wants advice from her ma and pa and all this stuff starts. i can understand why too. i guess not having real boobs is a drawback, but shes guaranteed to be less likely to die and she is willing to give them up. its interesting though because if there was no way to tell she had the gene thing for cancer like in her moms day her life would have been different. just like her mom said she didnt know and she got married and had kids and then got surgery. she doesnt want her daughter to miss out on Gods gifts. i mean its a mix of paranoia and precaution. she will still be able to have kids. she just cant give her nutrients to them.
it also reminds me of song of solomon by toni morrison. i guess im twisting the situation around a bit. in the book this weird woman gets pleasure form breast feedin her son so she feeds him that way till he's like 8! the point is that how bad can it be not do feed ur kids this way. the moms all like that was a big part of raising kids and how she enjoyed it so much. i was like eeeeww!!
it basically seemed that some people valued the womans life while others valued......eh.....uh.....? anyway they thought she should not get the surgery and keep herself at greater risk for the chance of raising kids "normally".
in the end it made me thank God that the cancer gene is not in my family...i know it sounds like im a selfish bum...but it reminds me theres always somthing to be thankful for.....8)
