Transhumanism In Action!

I am a Transhumanist.  I believe that we, as a species, should use science and technology to advance our existence.  Of course, medical technology will be at the forefront of the advancement, for obvious reasons.
There is one medical advancement that tenuously falls under the purview of transhumanism.  Something that started out as a method of improving the quality of life of people who had disfiguring scars or a condition that led to a large amount of insecurity.  Later, as looks began to mean everything, cosmetic surgery was turned from a medical procedure for the scar-laden insecure to an elective surgery for insecure retards with too much money. Wanna see?
 Very attractive super-woman, capable of keeping an entire A-380 afloat!
 Once a sex symbol, now... an... I don't know what.
 The most perfect example of too much of a good thing...

 How is this an improvement?

Hmmmm... Maybe mike didn't get surgery...
I'm sorry, accidentally downloaded a livestock photo....

from workin 9 to 5 to paying to look 95
Now, despite my previous comments, these pictures aren't here for derision, they're here to prove a point.  Something that was meant to improve the lives of the unfortunate is now a monstrous addiction for the too-fortunate.
The irresponsible use of cosmetic surgery should serve as an example to those that have the knowledge to further transhumanism.  It is an example of the abuses that will come.  Nothing can stop that.  We, as a species, tend to be completely and utterly uncaring when it comes to the consequences of our actions.  Something must be done to counteract the damage we will do when we realize transhumanity.  We should start fixing the problem now.
