I know this is a very small sample, and therefore a completely unscientific opinion, but I just don't think we know enough about the function of these organs to just lop them off unless it's completely life threatening.

I mean really, it was only a hundred and fifty years ago when they discovered that you could save a lot of mother's lives by simply washing your hands when you attend a childbirth.

We really DON'T know everything yet.
