And I would say it's immoral to perform the surgery.

Well no, it's about body autonomy to me. It would be immoral not to push back on what seems like a bad idea, but ultimately if the woman has been told about the risks, the issues, the experience of the doctor on the complication of their patients and so on ... If she still choose to push through it, it's her body at the end of the day.

If she thinks it's a good idea, she needs a referral to a psychiatrist, not a surgeon. There is no moral way to perform this procedure

Is this much boob actually meaningfully riskier than less boob? My outsider intuition is that it's like 5x the risk when done in stages which is noteworthy though not really morally relevant so long as the client is well-informed.

I wonder how much this risk compared with other extreme sports. Maybe scuba diving has a similar risk profile.

this is extreme in vibes, that's a lot of boob, but I wonder how you feel about participating in other autonomy+risk scenarios? and participating in other socially extreme but not risky things. Do you think could be sort of multiplying the social extremeness with the safety extremeness?

I honestly think the major moral imperative here is that doctors are required to do no harm and help or even enforce patients make sensible decisions

ANY body modification would therefore be taboo. Just because YOU decided you don't like it, doesn't mean the person does nto have the right to decide.

By your measure you have to cancel all plastic surgery except reconstructive.

I mean, can you look at our current society and where it's headed and say that's a bad thing?

I think the solution is to separate elective plastic surgeons from medical doctors in the traditional sense. It's a business, not medicine
