I don't think we should judge what others think is foolish. All of in one way or another try to make ourselves better. Who is to decide what is better. I take anti-depressents and anti-ADD drugs. They carry a finite risk. I take them because I like what they do for me, how they let me live my life. If a young woman chooses to have implants because she thinks it will improve her chances for happiness, who are we to judge that choice as foolish. Given the world we live in it may not be foolish at all. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
