On Botox, Liposuction and Kidney Transfer News in Singapore
July 24th, 2008 by ALVIN SOONG
Recently the medical support groups, doctors & beauty saloons are hit with rules and concerns by the government.
It began with the control of Botox and Liposuction and some measures of weight loss given to by Beauty Saloons. Now, for Liposuction - above 28 percent BMI are not approved due to concerns of possible health conditions.
Even Kidney Transfers did not spare the headlines when recently Mr Tang the 2nd generation of the Tangs Retail and Hotel group got charged when he engaged a middlemen to buy a kidney transfer. The government is considering it this should be legalised by law yet, but it does raise ethical concerns for people who undersell their kidney in poor countries to the rich in developed world, while leaving these middlemen to profit from it.
I welcome all readers to comment on what they have read and to give their feedback on the concerns, and the pros and cons on such matters.
