How many believe that this person needs mental health therapy?

To say the least. Her counseling would likely cost a whole lot less than the surgery. I'm thinking she wants attention, and I see her as just a misfit. Any doctor that would do that surgery should be denied the right to practice medicine. Of course that's just my opinion. It's got a familiar ring though. It's that question about what rights we have to make decisions like that, and assisted suicide for example.

I agree Mike.

Any doctor that would perform such a surgery should have their license revoked for life. And assisted suicide is a very touchy and emotional subject to say the least. But this woman, as you noted, probably is looking for attention. I'd also like to read what others think about this person and her desires.

I would too. It's such an incredible story, I'm guessing the 160 some odd members that viewed this post are just speechless.

Jessica Long's comment from the The Sun link sums it up. Interesting to note that this is not her only mental problem.

Some may consider it that, but she's among many suffering from some mental disorders. Sad, that she gets classified like that. I'm surprised that she could even find a physician that would do that surgery.
