Michael Jackson was damaged, I don't think there's any doubt about that. I wonder why the surgeons who worked on the face of such a damaged individual have not been struck off. |

as far has his face, well he wanted to look that way. Should we also put tattoo artists who do face tattoos in jail? or those people who have 50 million piercings in their face? he wanted to look like Peter Pan from the Disney film.

He wanted his face to look that way, yes. But it's obvious isn't it, that he was a very damaged individual? I don't think surgeons acted professionally looking at the state his face was in by the time he died. If someone wanted to get a tattoo, good for them. If they were clearly suffering a mental illness and wanted their whole face tattooed like a reptile, then I'd say someone has to say no. Last edited by Livia; 04-10-2012 at 12:23 PM. |

I don't have a problem with extreme body modification. Like those people who want to have limbs amputated, and they have to resort to extreme measures to get a doctor to do it I think it's sad. I don't see the difference between extreme body modification and transexuals. If it's okay to cut off your dick, why isn't it okay to cut off your leg? The paralympics proved that there's nothing wrong with having a disability.

Seriously... you don't think that's worrying? If my brother or someone close to me wanted to cut off their leg I'd be beside myself with worry about them. I'm all for stepping out of line as far as normality is concerned, but that just seems weird. It'd be like blinding yourself.

I think our bodies are very important, and a HUGE part of our identity is in our physical bodies. I think it's not okay to just say "it's all in your mind" even thought we live in a world where physical appearancee is VERY important. We let people break their noses in nose jobs every day, i've seen the surgery it's very violent. BUt because we think they are going for what looks beautifult o us, we donm't have a problem with it. Stuffing your tits with plastic is routine now. You're physical appearance affects everything, your self confidence, your employment opportunities, your ability to find a partner. We can't pretend that physical appearance is not important to people. But we can't only allow people to do extreme body modification if it's something that fits into pop culture. Was Michael Jackson's plastic surgery any more grotesque than Pamela Anderson's surgery? i don't think so.

I agree about the counselling. And I do, in my shallow way, think they are a bit crazy... but I think what they need is help to overcome what they're going through. I think changing from a man to a woman, or vice versa, is going to improve the life of a person who believes they were born in the wrong body. Having your leg cut off or your arm cut off isn't going to do anything to improve your life, surely. It's hard for me to get my head around it.
