What kind of body modifications are ethically acceptable, and which are not? If having surgery performed on a child born with a cleft palate is acceptable to improve his appearance, is it also acceptable to have a circumcision performed for purely aesthetic (not religious) reasons? Is it ok to have a nose job if your nose has been broken and it's impairing your ability to breathe? How about a nose job for a 16 year old who thinks her nose is too big? And what about liposuction? Is liposuction an intelligent option for the severely overweight? How about for someone who exercises and watches their diet but can't get rid of those love handles or thunder thighs?
Is it going too far to have a breast lift after carrying and breastfeeding three children? Is it going too far to have a breast augmentation to look hotter? How about getting DDD's to make money as a stripper? Are botox injections advisable for an actress? How about for a soccer Mom?
Where would you draw the line, and why?
