Now I'd be the last person to ever judge anyone for wanting to improve themselves, I am always a bit flummoxed about the permanence of most of these procedures. For example, a tattoo plastered across your back that you thought was so cool in your twenties may leave you embarrassed as you face forty. Or, extra-large, err, chest enhancements may seem like a good idea at the time, but less friendly once you decide to take up running or want to nurse a baby.Another new trend that I'm not understanding is a surgical procedure that allows you to permanently change the color of your iris. These intra-ocular implants, originally designed for medical problems, are now being used so that brown eyes can turn blue, or blue eyes can turn green and such. Oh yeah, there is a risk of losing your eyesight, but who cares, i...
