Actually I do. I just disagree with hacking off perfectly healthy body parts merely because there is a chance that the person might later develop cancer. If the flesh isn’t diseased, it shouldn’t be hacked off.

We’ll see.

So you disagree with prophylactic oophorectomy for women with a high probability of contracting ovarian cancer? On what basis?
How about prophylactic hysterectomy for women at risk of endometrial cancers?
If everyone took your advice, and chose not to have anything done until they actually developed cancer, what would be the difference in incidence and mortality from these cancers?
What would be the economic impact of taking your advice?
