Why does the media refuse to tell us the truth about plastic surgery?

Folks,

The issue of Plastic Surgery has long had me very concerned. I have watched this issue being discussed on all the popular talk shows over the last couple of years. The listening audience in each case asked the same questions. How much does it cost? How long does it take for the scars to disappear? How long does it last, Etc.?

No one has yet brought up the deeper far more important question about the deception involved when someone has this procedure done. MTV music awards showed a picture of Paula Abdul during her high school years. This picture upset Paula as it revealed that she had a large bulbous nose. Paula happens to have some Lebanese blood flowing through her veins so she resembles many Middle Eastern people.

Arsenio Hall was dating her during that period, and they broke up shortly after the picture hit the media. I wondered to myself how much of an impact that had on their breaking up. Well, a while later Ebony had Arsenio on the cover, and upon reading what he had to say, I noticed Arsenio admitting how disappointed he was that she had plastic surgery done as he rightfully should have been. So evidently it did have something to do with their going separate ways.

My point is that what many people don't understand, or perhaps don't care about, is that having plastic surgery done and failing to be truthful with a lover, or future spouse is the highest form of deception one human being can do to another!

We all have a natural right to know that what we see is what we get. After all how would you all feel if you married someone that you loved and wanted to have a family with only to discover after the first child was born with some gross physical defect that no one in your family had that your spouse had neglected to tell you that Elephant Man's disease, or having eight fingers per hand, or club feet ran in their family.

This is what people are having to deal with today.
Plastic surgery can take people, who if left to natural selection would probably not marry and reproduce because of their physical deformities, and turn them into normal looking people. With millions of people being born all over the planet every day, it stands to reason that some of them will not be healthy organisms.

What we don't realize is; that it is only the outside that has changed. The genetic makeup of the individual is still the same and whatever offspring they produce will probably have the same afflictions. Tampering with nature causes us to continue a gene pool that is unhealthy. Many of these people wind up being wards of the state for their entire lives.

Let me add that I am not talking about any particular ethnic group. This is true for all humankind. So, I feel that it is OK for people to have these operations to raise their self-esteem, etc. If they are past the child bearing ages then it MIGHT be fine to not disclose the information to your significant other.

However, if they are talking about having children I think it is imperative that they disclose these things to the significant other in their life and give them the opportunity to make a decision whether they want to deal with it or not.

None of the major talk shows, bloggers, pundits, or magazines have addressed this extremely important point. I feel they have been negligent in properly informing the viewing public, most of whom have never studied Human Sexuality, Genetics, Biology, Botany, or any other course that would spell out in detail how diseases, deformities, and other dangerous issues can be transmitted from one generation to the other.


So mote it be
