This is the third and final part of the blog series covering the website MyFreeImplants.com, which was established to help raise money for women to receive free breast augmentation procedures. Women can establish profiles on this site to be viewed by men who are prospective benefactors. The men then donate money to the woman of their choice, sometimes in exchange for photos or videos. When the woman has raised enough money to pay for her breast surgery, the money will be sent directly to the plastic surgeon.

I’m not sure what to make of this website. Clearly, this is capitalism at its finest, if not its most perverse. These women are truly living the American dream. Get a new set of boobs for free! All you have to do is flirt with some horny guys online and send them some seductive pictures. I’m sure the sexier your photos, the quicker you’ll reach your goal.
But what about our generous benefactors? What do they get from this whole process? I’m sure that in some sick way, they get a feeling of satisfaction knowing that they helped improve the life of some stranger, albeit in the most superficial of ways. However, this seems to be rather little to receive in return for heaps of cash. I guess they will always have the photos they received and a few flirtatious email threads to look back on.
I wonder how many men have been unable to pay for gifts for their wives and girlfriends in order to donate money on MyFreeImplants.com. How would you explain that to your wife? “Sorry, honey. I couldn’t really get you a birthday present this year. I just gave $500 to help some strange girl get breast implants. You should check out her photos though. She’s going to look great with her new boobs.” Can you say “divorce”?
In my opinion, this website is wrong on many levels. It speaks to the warped values and priorities of the American people. There is currently a trust set up by the MyFreeImplants.com people holding over $2 million specifically for the purpose of providing women with free breast augmentation. Is there a similar $2 million trust holding money to provide people with health care when they can’t pay for it themselves? Is there a trust to help pay for food and shelter for homeless and hungry people? Is there a trust established to help provide supplies to inner city schools that can’t pay for new text books and desks? I have not heard of such trusts.
Why are so many men willing to fork over their cash to pay for a stranger’s breast implants when they will not donate money to more worthy causes? Furthermore, why is there not a website to help breast cancer victims fund breast reconstruction following a mastectomy? Is that not as equally a worthy cause as giving a suburban housewife the gift of free breast implants? It seems that we may need to re-evaluate our values when a website such as MyFreeImplants.com thrives the way it does while so many Americans are suffering to survive the recession.
However depraved, shallow, or morally bankrupt this website may be, it seems that it is here to stay. For those women who absolutely must get breast augmentation but do not want to go into debt to overhaul their body, this site seems to provide a legitimate opportunity. If you are looking for a handout to make your breast augmentation a reality, it is worth visiting their website.
