You are correct - I haven’t seen the article.  If you would like to scan it and email it to me, I’d love to see it or I can look for the magazine later this week at one of the newstands in NY--the good ones sell magazines from all over the world.

However, my point was the judgement which was being passed on this young woman for speaking out.  People here are judging her for speaking out, they are insulting her, and they are stigmatizing her for telling her story.  I’ve gotten the same thing from parents here---unhappy because I speak out about surgery and unhappy because I sometimes do interviews.  CARES foundation actually had the audacity to call the producers of the recent PBS program which profiled me because of it--because it makes some parents uncomfortable.  Heck, there’s an entire thread of folks flaming me on the controversy board and now people are flaming Jennifer for telling her story.

If you don’t like the article, contact the publishers of the magazine but don’t talk about the girl like she is a statue in a museum!  Support her for being courageous enough to speak out and tell her story no matter how it reads.
