My opinion of news article

A woman with an inoperable brain tumour is spending £40,000 on plastic surgery – so she can die looking like movie star Demi Moore.
Lisa Connell, 29, will use the money her mum Angela had saved up for Lisa’s wedding to pay for her new look.
“I’ve always dreamed of looking like Demi Moore and I’m determined that when I die I will,” she said.
Despite being a stunning brunette, Lisa has never been happy with her appearance and is convinced the surgery will make her look as beautiful as Demi, who is no stranger to cosmetic surgery herself.
She added: “People think I’m crazy for wanting to do this, but I know it will make my last months or years happier. I want to die beautiful. This is my way of getting the control back in my life.”
In a race against time, Lisa will undergo liposuction, a breast enhancement and eyebrow lift, plus work on her skin and teeth to fulfil her dream.
But mum Angela, 48, said: “I really don’t want Lisa to put herself through this. She is a beautiful girl and she doesn’t need the surgery.
“It was really hard for me to accept when she said she wanted to do this but she is my daughter, I love her and I want to bring joy to her life for however long she may have left.”
Lisa was just 27 when her life fell apart after she was told she had an inoperable brain tumour known as a meningioma.
The tumour was diagnosed after she had a miscarriage in 2006. Lisa had been suffering painful headaches and loss of sight in her left eye when she was pregnant and both conditions worsened after she lost the baby.
A scan at London’s Moorfields Eye Hospital showed she had a large tumour in the centre of her brain. It’s not cancerous, but because of its position it can never be removed.
After the diagnosis, Lisa, of Barnet, North London, attempted suicide twice as she struggled to get her life back on track.
Lisa said: “It is like living with a ticking time bomb. No specialist can tell me how long I have to live. I was so desperate I even tried to overdose on sleeping tablets.”

I viewed Demi Moore’s face on the Internet. I don’t think the dying woman need plastic surgery. They (Demi, the dying woman) are similar.
I don’t understand that people who want to take plastic surgery, because I don’t want my parents to be sad. Even though you are not good-looking, you mustn’t do that, I think.
Human’s charm is not only their appearance but also what they really are.
From these points I don’t understand to do plastic surgery, but in this case the dying woman know when she dies, so I do understand. If I knew when I die, I would do the thing that I want to do. I don’t want to die with regret. I also think I want to die after I did things that I wanted to do. The dying woman also doesn’t want to regret before she dies, so she wants to do plastic surgery. That is good for her, I think. What do you think? (553 words)
