Cheating Darwin: The Genetic and Ethical Implications of Vanity and Cosmetic Plastic Surgery Listen to talk here

Evolution continually strives to keep the best genes around to proliferate the species. Emerging cosmetic surgeries inadvertently attempt to cheat this by altering external flaws and ignoring the intact internal code where the flaws remain. Without the undesirable physical characteristics people who otherwise may not have been are able to become more desirable to partners for procreation. TV shows are demonstrating the advantages over evolution that can be taken with the right amount of time and money. What we see on the outside is not what we are going to get on the inside, genetically. With more and more people flocking to cosmetic procedures at younger ages, doctors and consumers need to understand and discuss the importance of this dramatic misrepresentation to the opposite sex. While there is a right to do the procedures, those who do so prior to child bearing and even those who do not, are faced with some choices both now and in the future.
