That would be like cutting off the breasts of girls because they may get breast cancer one day.

There is a particular genetic abnormality, affecting mainly Jewish women if I recall correctly, that is associated with a hugely increased risk of breast cancer. Many women who have this abnormality, which they usually discover via genetic testing in response to a strong family history of the disease, choose to have mastectomies as a preventative measure.
