死人臉移植活人臉 變臉損醫德?
【2002.12.27 聯合報 編譯朱邦賢/路透倫敦二十六日電】
英國即將進行全世界第一次「變臉」手術,因為滋事體大,手術尚未進行,已先引發一場道德和醫療激辯。
愛爾蘭籍整形外科醫師巴特勒準備最快在明年摘下一名死者的臉,移植到一名燒傷病患或臉部癌症患者的臉上。
巴特勒及支持他人表示,這種手術可能改變許多人暗淡的一生,但反對者質疑,這種手術對社會甚至對病人本身到底有沒有好處都不無疑問。

【2004.04.27 中廣新聞網】
美國一項研究顯示,整容對女性心理帶來正面影響,可望延長壽命十年。
梅奧醫療中心所進行的這項研究,是一個嶄新的論點。美國整容學會主席朱厄爾表示:整容與長壽扯上關係是醫學界頭一次提出,過去的研究只曾指出整容能夠增強自信心,鼓舞一個人以積極的心情面對人生。
日本黑道漂白 有勞整形醫師
【2004.05.20 中國時報 鍾玉玨/綜合十八日外電報導】
日本黑幫「山口組」惡名遠播,不論在國內或海外,均令人聞之生畏;而任何人欲脫離山口組,不僅得說服幫派老大點頭,還得克服整體社會的異樣眼光。如今拜整形手術之賜,山口組黑幫分子現在有重新做人的機會。
有山口組印記的,在有禮的日本社會中往往遭到冷淡的待遇。根據英國廣播公司新聞網十八日的報導,通常加入山口組的分子身上會刺上令人歎為觀止的刺青,有時刺青範圍大到覆蓋全身,多數日本公共泳池與健身房嚴禁身上有刺青的人士入內,以免驚嚇到其他消費者。
上海一些男士”男為悅己者隆”
【2004.05.20 中國時報 鍾玉玨/綜合十八日外電報導】
隆胸,一個聽起來、想起來、做起來、向來都只屬於女性的玩藝兒,想不到已經入侵到”雄赳赳”的男性之間了。我們將來可能不難看到一些”胸赳赳”的男性了。
據上海媒體的報道,一些上海男人為了擁有健美胸肌,竟然開始填硅膠隆胸!
報道說,上海一家整形美容中心接到了大約40多名男子要求隆胸,目前已有10多人接受手術,填充了胸肌。
據瞭解,上海多家整形醫院有類似項目。
《上海青年報》的報道說,到醫院諮詢隆胸的男人多數是骨骼纖細的”白面書生”。有的表示強壯的身材對工作有所促進,能給客戶或者上司留下信任可靠的印象﹔有的則是因為女友嫌自己”身胚小”,沒有”寬闊的胸懷”才決定手術。
少女整形 14歲就開始
【2004.10.27 聯合報 編譯朱邦賢/綜合二十六日外電】
十九歲的單親媽媽妮可.卡斯托對自己的長相很不滿意,決定有所行動。她說,餵了一年母奶,害她的乳房變形,等到六月收到退稅支票,妮可就找整形醫生柯恩動隆乳手術。
家住維吉尼亞州目前當女侍的妮可說:「家人看我年紀輕輕就動隆乳手術,都很不高興。但我向他們解釋說,隆乳可以提振自信心。」她對手術結果感到滿意。
數十年來,所謂整形手術,對十幾歲的少女而言,無非是隆鼻。隆鼻手術往往是在高中畢業,尚未正式進入大學的那年暑假做。隆鼻目前仍是最常見的少女整形手術,但愈來愈多少女接受隆乳、抽脂、縮腹手術,有些少女甚至只有十四歲就接受這類手術。

JEAN BAUDRILLARD – PLASTIC SURGERY FOR THE OTHER TRANSLATED BY FRANCOIS DEBRIX FIGURES DE L’ALTERITE. PARIS: DESCARTES ET CIE., 1994.
Starting with modernity, we have entered an era of production of the Other. It is no longer a question of killing, of devouring or seducing the Other, of facing him, of competing with him, of loving or hating the Other. It is first of all a matter of producing the Other. The Other is no longer an object of passion but an object of production. Maybe it is because the Other, in his radical otherness [alterite], or in his irreducible singularity, has become dangerous or unbearable. And so, we have to conjure up his seduction. Or perhaps, more simply, otherness and dual relationships gradually disappear with the rise of individual values and with the destruction of the symbolic ones. In any case, otherness [alterite] is lacking and, since we cannot experience otherness as destiny, one must produce the other as difference. And this is a concern just as much for the body as it is for sex, or for social relationships. In order to escape the world as destiny, the body as destiny, sex (and the other sex) as destiny, the production of the other as difference is invented. This is what happens with sexual difference. Each sex has its own anatomical and psychological characteristics, its own desire with all the insoluble events that emerge from that, including an ideology of sex and desire, and a utopia of sexual difference based on law and nature. None of this has any meaning [sens] whatsoever in seduction where it is not a question of desire but of a play [jeu] with desire, and where it is not a question of equality between different sexes or of an alienation of one by the other since this play [jeu] implies a perfect reciprocity of each partner (not difference or alienation, but alterity/otherness [alterite] or complicity). Seduction is nothing less than hysterical, since no sex projects its sexuality onto the other. Distances are set. And otherness [alterite] is left untouched. This is the very condition of this greater illusion, of this play with desire.
