THIS HOUSE WOULD BAN COSMETIC SURGERY
The distinction between cosmetic surgery and other types of surgery such as reconstructive surgery is that cosmetic surgery involves techniques intended for the 'enhancement(增加,放大)' of appearance. Cosmetic surgery involves both surgical and medical techniques and it is specifically concerned with maintaining normal appearance, restoring it, or enhancing it beyond the average level toward some aesthetic(美学的,审美的) ideal. Cosmetic procedures have grown in popularity dramatically, in 2006, nearly 11 million cosmetic procedures were performed in the United States alone. The number of cosmetic procedures performed in the United States has incread over 50 percent since the start of the century. Nearly 12 million cosmetic procedures were performed in 2007. In Europe, the cond largest market for cosmetic procedures, cosmetic surgery is a $2.2 billion business. Cosmetic surgery is now very common in countries such as the United Kingdom, France, and Germany. In Asia, cosmetic surgery has become an accepted practice; currently most widely prevalent(普遍的,流行的) and normal in China where it is currently Asia's biggest cosmetic surgery market1. Proponents(支持者) argue that the risks inherent in surgery that
is not medically necessary are too great and that women are merely succumbing to the pressures of men. Opponents, in contrast, argue women have a right to choo both how they look and what methods they choo to get to how they look. This debate will examine whether cosmetic surgery should be banned.1 Cosmetic Surgery,(accesd 8/6/2011) 考研数学复习计划

POINT
If banned, cosmetic surgery will flourish on a black market. Of cour cosmetic surgery is already available on the black market but if banned then potentially all the customers who have legal cosmetic surgery will become customers for black market cosmetic surgery. This will drive the prices up and it will be much more dangerous as it will be done by unscrupulous doctors and outside all the safety precautions the legal environment provid
es. Examples such as that of 46 year old Maria Olivia Aguirre-Castillo died as a result of a black market cosmetic procedure in which cooking oil was injected into her buttocks by an unlicend practitioner who promid a cheap alternative to legitimate procedures. After spending a week in a coma following the procedure, Ms. Aguirre-Castillo succumbed to multiple organ failure due to fat embolization, as the oil injected into her buttocks attacked her body functions1. Examples such as this would become much more of a common occurrence if cosmetic surgery was banned due to the increa in black market surgeries.

The black market argument applies to everything illegal. Of cour that risk exists, but the number of tho undertaking the activity will be smaller, as the opposition suggests by saying that operations will increa in price. Lack of legal safeguards and medical accountability, and the probability that only badly qualified doctors will offer illegal operati

ons will deter almost everyone from risking black market surgery. Fewer operations must be desirable if it is agreed that the activity concerned should be banned. Since discussing the effects of banning cosmetic surgery is at the prent time a hypothetical task, this argument will cite the prohibition of drugs as an example. A 2001 Australian study of 18-29 year olds by the NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Rearch suggests that prohibition deters illicit drug u. 29% of tho who had never ud cannabis cited the illegality of the substance as their reason for never using the drug, while 19% of tho who had cead u of cannabis cited its illegality as their reason1.

POINT
Cosmetic surgery has greatly aided reconstructive surgery. For example, maxillofacial sur
gery, or surgery of the jaw, has developed with insights from both plastic surgeons and oral surgeons. The roots of oral and maxillofacial surgery lie in the World Wars, when rvice personnel sustained devastating facial injuries1. The grave injuries necessitated new innovations in reconstructive surgical procedures. It was around this time that aesthetic surgery began to take its place as a somewhat more respected aspect of plastic surgery. This progress also brought with it a greater understanding of anaesthesia and infection prevention, allowing surgeons to perform a wider variety of increasingly complex procedures2. To shut down cosmetic surgery would be to cut off a valuable outlet for rearch and discovery. The market can sometimes create great benefits: people work hard in pursuit of profits and often their work can help us all. Plenty of people make a good living from normal medicine and they are not criticid, the same should be true for privately provided medicine: there's nothing wrong with turning a profit.

COUNTERPOINT

It could however be argued that commercialized medicine will harm society, yet produce little in the way of benefits. Non-profit hospitals undertake costly, but needed, rearch and maintain rvices which are not economically viable but which provide doctors with the training experiences necessary to medical education. Where profits rule, however, such necessary, but unprofitable, rearch and rvices important to medical education will be neglected. Furthermore, as for-profits come to dominate the health care ctor, society will suffer a vere shortage of unprofitable, but critical, rvices, such as emergency rooms. Meanwhile, scarce resources will be squandered to produce and aggressively market lucrative, but unnecessary, rvices, such as cosmetic surgery1.
