Section I A. Radical plastic surgery is by many looked upon as science fantasy. But it appears that we are going to have to adapt ourselves to a society were humans have their body changed surgically in such a radical extend that you do not know whether to amused or afraid. In the excerpt from the article “I’m having my wings done “ we hear about the plastic surgeon Dr. Joe Rosen who does not seem to have any scruples about fx. trough plastic surgery to give a person wings. Personally I think it is way to weird and I am downright discussed by the descriptions of the surgery in the article where they talk about stretching torso fat and rejiging rib bones and about how the patient afterwards will have full sensation in their new hanging, boned flaps of flesh. But at the same time though I find myself being partly convinced when I read about how the brain, according to apparently respected Dr. Joe Rosen, adapt to create neural maps for new body parts, so they thereby become a “natural” part of body. But just because something is scientifically possible and explainable should therefor it be acceptable? Dr. Rosen appears to think so. And sadly the article is probably right in its comment on that if the technology and the will to experiment exist it is almost impossible for even the most overwhelming ethical qualms to prevent these surgeries from taking place. This comment leaves for me a feeling of magtesløshed and ærgrelse , the same felling I could imagine many people would get from reading the excerpt from the article “Gene cheats aim to conquer the Olympics” This excerpt tells about how athletes with a single injection can manipulate with their DNA in favour of their athletic abilities.
