" If you actually develop the disease, then you take appropriate action. "

That's very easy to say, but appropriate action when it comes to cancer doesn't always work, does it? Jolie had a high likelihood of developing breast or ovarian cancer. I don't laud her as "brave"; IMO it was a personal decision involving self-preservation more than bravery. But I understand why she did it.

Nope.

I understand why she did it too. I just don’t think it makes much sense to hack off perfectly healthy body parts in an age where cancer is increasingly beatable anyway.
