Editor's Note: This is an excerpt from a student's essay about medical technology and the ethics of certain surgical procedures.
The majority of the public relies on surgeries to build up their own confidence, by making their appearance better and more beautiful. Facelifts, "Westernized" features, and all of these cosmetic enhancements might give a person confidence, but all of these confidence factors were created by the hands of others and their surgical tools and equipment. Confidence is only meaningful when it is built by the person themselves, by listening to others' advice, learning from mistakes, and not depending on the tools of a surgeon. It is not genuine when something is done by tools. Confidence should be built independently, without relying on something artificial.
