The decision by some high-risk women to have their breasts removed to prevent the possibility of developing cancer could be a truly life-altering decision.

Counter that with living in a society that seems to be moving toward even greater obsession with female breasts at earlier ages (e.g., breast implants for 16th birthdays!)
