I have to start by saying that I don’t know how the hell it is that this whole “Botox Mom” drama is ending up on Entertainment News sites like Radar Online and TMZ. It’s one of those blatantly absurd stories that everyone seems to be talking about and based on the comments I am reading… People have no friggen idea what it is they are talking about.
I would never agree that a parent should be allowed to do this stuff to a child but the reality of the matter is that parents do stuff like this to their children everyday and people just don’t think about it.
Circumcision is technically a “cosmetic” surgery and millions of parents have their children circumcised after they are born even though it isn’t medically necessary. The only risks associated with circumcision are ones that don’t appear till later in life and since those problems can’t/won’t appear till later in life, circumcision can’t be classified as being something that is necessary to do following the birth of a child and is certainly something that could be left up to the child once they reach their more mature teenage years.
Although there is absolutely no immediate danger and there is limited future danger to a child that hasn’t been circumcised, a lot of parents force their children to get circumcised and some doctor’s circumcise children without even bothering to ask the parents if they want to have it done.
Given the fact that I know this happens, I can’t sit here and claim that it isn’t okay for this woman to inject her daughter with Botox considering parents do similar stuff to their children on a daily basis (circumcision being only one example).
In America, we believe in equality and I don’t feel it is right to claim that it is wrong to do something like this to a female when men endure things that are far worse and much more painful on a daily basis.
If we are going to claim that it is wrong for parents to subject their children to “cosmetic” alterations then I feel it should be universal and right now it is not universal. Men get “altered” on a daily basis and yet the only time anyone seems to care is when it happens to a woman.
This is obviously just my opinion but it certainly has some thought and consideration behind it. By no means am I saying that this woman did something right… I am simply saying that it either should or shouldn’t be allowed. If a parent isn’t allowed to cosmetically alter their children with Botox… They legally shouldn’t be allowed to do it in any other way either.
Given the fact that we do actually allow some parents to “cosmetically” alter their children… I can’t say that this woman has actually done anything wrong because what she has done is similar to what a lot of other parents have done… The other parents just did it in a different way.
Obviously it wouldn’t be fair to take this woman’s child away when we don’t take children away from other parents that cosmetically alter their children.
