This article got me kind of pissed off. But then I thought hey, maybe people have a genuine medical condition that requires it. And I've been fourteen and know I wouldn't have gone near the fat girl (I'm less of a bastard now) which, I imagine, could cause some self-esteem problems that might make it hard to play sports/stop eating.
Does anyone want to defend this kind of surgery or am I right in taking as another sign of our general societal decay?
