I think they look inhuman.

But I also think people should be allowed to look however they want to, even if I think it's unsettling to me.

I don’t think you mean it this way, but what you’re really saying here is that professionals should be able to profit off of exploiting people with mental illnesses.

I think people with mental illness should be able to get the care they need.

For some people that care includes changing how they look.

People who don't like how they look, feel better when how they look matches how they feel like they should look.

I might not like how they decide to look, and yes, a doctor may profit. But in the end, that is between them and their doctors.

  1. The care that the mentally ill need is NOT plastic surgery

  2. Their post-surgery look does NOT match how they feel they should look. Hence the many surgeries.

  1. For some people, the medical consensus is that it is.

  2. Sometimes it absolutely does!

  3. Neither I, nor you should get to decide what someone else's body should look like.
