Reply to "Performance Enhancing Surgery"

My first response is...if the surgery is necessary for a person to lead a “normal” life then I approve, if it is just an enhancement procedure then I disapprove...but... I'll be quick to point out that we all have differing opinions as to what “normal” is. Two years ago I had three surgeries on my hands; two carpal tunnel operations and four trigger finger operations. Those operations allow me to do many things I couldn’t do before. I’m glad I had the operations. There are people that have gastric bypass, liposuction, face lifts, and silicone implants, all for what many would consider frivolous reasons...but it allows them to do things they couldn’t do before. Body piercing is quite common and that is also a simple surgery that allows the recipient to adorn their body with ornate objects and other things too (or so I'm told). What about tattoos? I personally don’t care for tattoos but I will also admit they are a simple form of “enhancing” surgery? To each his own.
