More on Plastic Surgery
Cause the last two threads are so much fun, here's another one. Sci-fi Author William Gibson has speculated in many of his novels and short stories that plastic surgery will eventually become so commonplace that you'll be able to go get it done at the corner store like you are picking up milk. Characters in his stories have various things done to them, like having their teeth replaced with teeth from dogs, getting their eyes modified to reflect light like a cats, or getting their eyes completed sheathed away in mirrored glass.
Do you think that plastic surgery, given the trend towards completely self-gratifying plastic surgery, will eventually head this way, perhaps not to the corner store variety, picking up some bread and a little modification on the way home from work, but more like zipping into your dental office to have your teeth replaced. Even 10 years ago girls getting breast implants in high school was almost unheard of, but now seems to be the cool thing to do.
