Well 180cm is a good height in all countries even among the Dutch as it is marginally below average. There comes a point where it's much simpler to solve BDD than it is to have this surgery.
Besides if this surgery became common place among even tall folk(highly unlikely) then those of us that truly suffer because of our height would be back at sqaure one, negating the dreams of those that face extreme discrimination which is why I belive surgeons should place a cap on the maxim height to undergo this surgery within a particular tolerance.
Ethics do enter into this surgery at some point, but unfortunately a fool and his money is easily parted.
Hey Apoplectic
I see your point but don't bother whether tall people want to do CLL or not. In any case, very little fraction of population would undergo this. Perhaps 0.001% at max? maybe more likely 0.00001%? Why bother to think this way? But I should admit that I become quite disgusted by some of guys on this forum who are talking about too much childish and stupid stuffs like I should be 2 m or I want to sleep with more than 100 girls, or I want to be a beast, blah blah blah. Oh well, in this end, it is their life anyway.
I also think it is so hard to place a cap at the right spot. below 10%? then what about people at 10.1%? Right? It is so hard to draw the line. That is why Paley stopped this question long time ago. Anyway, the bottom line is Don't care about others and just focus on what you need.
