Re: Health care/Ethics question
My take is that if it is to save a life, yes, it should be available -- even the high-risk, experimental surgeries. Things to improve your quality of life depends on what you're improving -- your physical well being, yes. Plastic surgery only if you're truly disfigured. So breast augmentaton or lifts, no. Breast reduction or breast replacement, yes. Liposuction, no. Gastric bypass, yes. Viagra? No. Cosmetic surgery? No. Mental health therapy and medication? Yes.
