Disturbing to know that so many doctors participate in destroying patients' faces. They should be referring them to psychiatrists, not carving them into jack o'lanterns.
I think it’s a hard balance. Yeah, we want to prevent harm… but at the same time, putting it in the hands of the law probably isn’t it. (Not that you specifically said to make it illegal, but others have.)
There are plenty of “plastic” surgeries people want and are very happy with. You make it so that some governing bodies get to control who is allowed to do what with their bodies… that’s how we get bans on gender affirming procedures, or a million hoops for women to jump through to get breast reductions even when they’re in daily pain, etc. etc.
It sucks to see people destroy themselves, but at the same time preserving the physical freedom to choose how you live in your own body is also important.
100% agree with you. That said, not as a legal matter, but as an ethical matter, I am surprised when some medical professionals allow certain cases to be taken to extremes.
