This Cosmetic Surgery Is Ethical?
by Sean - 29 September 2009
I saw on the news recently that a woman with the largest breasts in the world was nearby promoting an event. I was amazed at the photos of this person. Obviously NOT natural. Obviously created by a surgeon. Upon searching further, I discovered she’s not the only one!

Ok, so perhaps some people like that kind of thing. I don’t. In fact, the word "grotesque" comes to mind. But I’m not throwing stones at them, something about living in glass houses and all…
Apparently, these types of breasts come from a particular type of breast implants that just keeps on inflating. They must be drained regularly! I can’t imagine how they would not cause back problems to the women who have those incredible boobs. I can’t help wondering if they might explode. "The strange case of the exploding boobs". Urgh! Cosmetic surgery gone mad.
In fact, these types of implants were banned in the United States, for being too dangerous. Yet, doctors continue to provide them. Ethics committee don’t seem to have a huge problem with that. Yet, they have ethical issues with providing surgery for BIID? Seems a bit unbalanced.
