Stephanie Kuleba, a 18-year old cheerleader from Boca Raton, Florida, died Tuesday after a fatal reaction to anesthesia during corrective breast surgery. Kuleba underwent surgery to correct asymmetrical breasts and an inverted areola. Doctors say the cause of death was malignant hyperthermia, a relatively rare metabolic condition that can be triggered by certain anesthesia. During malignant hyperthermia, a patient's heart rate and metabolism rises, causing the body temperature to rise as high as 112 degrees. Kuleba, a high school senior, was the captain of the varsity cheerleading team at West Boca High School and was fielding scholarship offers from Tulane University and Florida State University. Ironically, Kuleba planned to study medicine in college and become a plastic surgeon.

Date: Tue, Mar 25, 2008 01:44:41 PDT May be it is just the times that we live in. Young women seem for what ever reasons that they have to exhibit this in your face femininity, with their charms overly splayed in public view. I went to my daughter's high school one day, and I thought to myself am I in a night club or high school. One of the front office woman mentioned to me that I hadn't seen nothing yet because the female teachers were worse. I asked my daughter, "what is up with all this in your face boobs and having to be blond? Her reply was simple, "Money,fame and being the hottest girl in school dad." She further added almost as an afterthought, "If your hot looking it is easier to get better grades than an ugly or average person." What a pathetic state our society has descended to.
