" Where LOVE RULES"
I think he should do whatever the client wants–at least in this case. Weird as it is.
Hi Barbara,
I guess there is a fine line between fulfilling the customer’s wants/needs and the moral code of the doctor, who is sworn to “do no harm”. I will be interested to see how other readers respond, especially other surgeons.
Thanks for taking the time to express your opinion.

I think that the surgeon should do as the patient requests-although I think that there would be some legal issues that would need to be covered for the sake of the surgeon-to me think it’s on the same level as plastic surgery, just more individualized-and I don’t believe it’s anyone’s right to tell someone what they can and can’t do to their bodies-as we are each on our own individual paths, and to restrict an individual’s desire to express themselves in whatever manner they chose-particularly in regard to their own bodies-in my opinion, should be considered a crime against humanity.
Hi Jan,
I am always interested to hear how others think and respond to these type questions, so thank you for taking the time to express your thoughts. There are some issues, I believe, where there simply are no hard and fast right and wrong answers. In this case, eventually tiger man committed suicide, so apparently all his strivings for physical change didn’t satisfy his inner needs. I suspect there are cases, like this one, where the surgeon might have done his patient a better service by referring him for some psychological counseling. Again, my opinion, not a hard and fast rule.
I definitely agree with you, there are some things where there just aren’t any hard or fast rules. I did also hear about his recent suicide, which is actually why I clicked on this article. I think that some deeper introspection on his side may have been beneficial before plunging himself into the endless depths of body transformation he put himself through, but of course, that is not the case for all others who chose to modify their bodies in such a way.
Yes, I’m all for cosmetic surgery, if done for the right reasons with a sensible approach. I know it did wonders for my moral! But of course I didn’t go in for teeth filing and split lips!
