“And now she is dead.”

I know that is an awful title. Sorry about that, and I sincerely mean it. I was reading this article in hopes of posting it on the site for content purposes. I thought the topic was interesting and I had a lot to say about it. I recommend everyone read the article the topic IS interesting. The reasoning behind posting the article changed after getting about halfway through it.

Here I was, reading the tragic story of a girl who decided to get surgery to make herself look prettier, which brings a discussion in and of itself, then the story says,

But the 18-year-old high school senior, who was headed to college and then medical school, felt she needed to be even more perfect. Her breasts were asymmetrical and she had an inverted areola, so she went to an outpatient cosmetic surgery clinic in Boca Raton, Fla., to have what she saw as a problem attended to by doctors.

And now she’s dead.

She died Sunday, 24 hours after undergoing surgery, the victim of an extremely rare reaction to anesthesia called malignant hyperthermia.

Which brings an entirely more important feature of this story to my attention. How insensitive is the TODAY SHOW.com? I mean why in your right mind would you write a story and then mention the most IMPORTANT piece of information by just coldly throwing it in?

I am not the most sensitive person, but even I think this story was written all wrong. No in way would I mention a girl’s death, “AND SHE IS DEAD.” I may be overreacting (I may not seem it, but I am female), so it happens. I guess some people are just not the literary geniuses we are on this site (kidding).

I just think some things should be written with consideration of the situation in mind.
