I don't know what kind of Doctor (er..butcher) would DO something like that. That is NOT an ethical surgery, and I really wonder if she even had that done in the U.S. How sickening. Your ribs are there for a REASON! We need them to protect our organs from injury/damage! There's something really wrong with that woman, and shame on the Surgeon that did this operation!
Edit 2/17/08: After reading the rest of the thread, I guess she didn't actually have any ribs removed. I was skeptical about that, but who knows these days...people do so much to themselves in the name of what they personally think is beautiful..Some of it, like breast implants and liposuction, are more socially accepted..Other physical alterations are more on the "other side of the spectrum"...Still, it's all done for one simple reason; to change physical appearance...I wouldn't be a bit surprised if some people actually *DO* have ribs removed...Anyway, whether or not she's had that type of surgery, I don't think what she's doing to her body is particularly healthy (or, in my personal opinion, attractive..but hey, I'm sure what I think doesn't matter to her!)...
