Can you even define the difference between medical necessity & medical choice for vanity’s sake? I’m beginning to think you can’t. God given medicine was/is invented for treating ailment, not emotion.
Really? Seriously? I am so glad you have a direct line to God to have determined that.
you should try it sometime, he’s always available 24/7 - 365
That is quite prideful of you to think you know what He considers appropriate pursuit of medical enhancement.
And we all know what comes after that type of pride.
Again, who are you to decide what is appropriate? Oh, I shouldn’t do it if it is only for emotional reasons. Tell that to the woman who gets a breast implant after a mastectomy. Is it medically necessary for her life? No. Is it a sound medical pursuit for her emotionally and mentally. Depending on the situation, probably.
Good for the parents. It’s no different than fixing a “lazy” eye that wanders off to one side, for example. That little girl will grow up to be a more confident individual.
People can be so cruel. I don’t have a problem with her ears getting fixed.
Didn;t Christ heal an ear that had been cut off? I suppose maybe he just said “there, there its only sa superficial wound, here are complimentary tickets to the special Olympics”
