As defined by medical books, Medicine per se is science and art of healing humans. It includes a variety of health care practices evolved to maintain and restore health by the prevention and treatment of illness. Therefore, if it deviates far from what really is its exact definition, it is not medicine anymore. What I’m talking about here is the use of modern technology in blend of medicine to create that new branch called “Cosmetic Surgery”.
It is true that when you tackle about restoring health, it doesn’t only scope the physical but also the mental and social attributes of a human being. But altering the natural looks only to feed one’s ego is taking it the wrong way. it doesn’t make a man/woman “healthier” when you alter what is naturally his/her. We should erase the thinking of being someone else because that is what kills the real health of loving what God has really given us. This might be one of the reasons countless songwriters ever thought of inventing lyrics of their songs that “you are amazing just the way you are.” Such transformation is ethically against human dignity. We are using God’s gift of technology against its real means.
I believe in the saying that a monkey, even when covered with gold, is still a monkey and you can never ever make a horse out of it. So why transform it into something it naturally is not?
I get to think that somehow such technology is just a scam. They start making people feel ugly about themselves so they would get people fall into their false beliefs that true beauty is when you wow faces with your eye-catching physical features, which would make them feel good about themselves, but paradoxically they are only damaging it. The worse impact it brings, as per the article, is that social discrimination it would create between the naturals and the enhanced, promoting the mentality of marginalization of those deemed “imperfect”.
By this we are not creating beautiful creatures, but rather, ugly and horrible ones. To really enhance one is not a process that could take just a night of peelings, injections or surgery but by personal efforts to build strong relationship with others in the long run, so we would always feel good about ourselves no matter how the society defines what real beauty is.
Everything in this earth, including the bold and the beautiful, would perish in time anyway so let’s not live up to focus on how earth defines beauty. Let’s just live life and enjoy being naturally what we are.
