Cosmetic surgury was developed I think by a British (Scotish) surgeon called MacIndoe. His objective was to try to restore the disfigured faces ang bodies of pilots who suffered horrific burns to their faces and bodies during World War 2.
These original honorable objectives seem to have been hijacked by the cosmetics industry, for less honorable objectives.
We are writing about asian children in America who go under the knife to make them beautiful when they were probably already beautiful. I think that these Asian parents have been seduced by the American way of life.
I worked in a childrens holiday camp in Yosemite California in 1994. I discovered that in America there are no children, only mini adults.
We had 9 year olds who knew every calorific value of each item of food and drink (potential anorixics) They all wore make up and mascara so one could see when they had been crying, usually because their new boyfriend had just ditched them etc,etc.
Then something remarkable happened. A party of 15 Taiwanese children arrived. Compared to the American children these children were really mature.
I said to their leader how mature these taiwanese 9 year olds were. Their leader said to me Tony they are not 9 they are 12 and 13. (Suprise, suprise) These Taiwanese were delightful . They were children who looked and acted like children not the mini adults of their American counterparts. I got the impression that American children had been robbed of that wonderful thing called childhood
