Not really something to do with the leading-post but its about the same subject....


I read in the Newspaper this morning an article about an (American) couple who had a kid with the Down-Syndrome. They showed a picture of the kid before...and after the plastic surgeory (*spelling*).
The (rich? excentric? spoiled? crazy? sickening?) couple payed for the surgeory and the purpose was: extend all the visual signs of the Syndrome, so that people would think they have a *normal* kid.
I was anger when i read this. Society provides many opportunities for having a good life but if good life means 'exclude the bad things', then i have to thank for that. Isnt it the strength of a society that it includes a variety of people: good, *bad*, beautifull, *ugly*, .... Why exclude other *not normal* people of having a life?
Plastic surgeory is a thing i hate in todays society. People should be gratefull that they are living on this Earth, wonder of Nature, and they should be happy the way they are. Why wanting to be someone else? We all have our own personality, thats what makes it beautifull to be here...

Of course i can easily say all this (type all this), i have a pc, i live in the Western World, i have cable TV, cars, roads, plenty of food, ... For a kid in Africa, not knowing where to find food when he wakes up-IF he wakes up, it must be a hard thing "not wanting to be someone else". And i want them to be someone else too. Its crazy that in this *Modern Times*, where they do plastic surgeory on Mongols, that kids are starving every day on the other side of the Meridian.
