SKALPELOM DO SREĆE ILI O TOME KAKO JE NOŽ<br />
POSTAO NAJBOLJI PSIHOTERAPEUT<br />
U ovom će izlaganju biti riječi o estetskoj kirurgiji kao obliku medicinsko-tehničkog<br />
zahvata u ljudsko tijelo čijom se preinakom ostvaruje poželjan<br />
tjelesni izgled. Etičke dvojbe vezane uz estetsku kirurgiju pojavljuju<br />
se na najmanje dvije razine: na razini sukoba liječničkih etičkih normi i<br />
komercijalnih interesa medicinske industrije, te na razini sraza između individualne<br />
želje za slobodom izbora vlastitog tjelesnog izgleda i društvenih<br />
zahtjeva (u vidu tjelesnih standarda i ideala ljepote) koji utječu na taj izbor.<br />
U tom se kontekstu problematiziraju teme tjelesne neuglednosti/nepoželjnosti<br />
kao nove bolesti koju »treba liječiti«, opravdanost estetske kirurgije<br />
u promjeni rasnih i etničkih identiteta te snaga utjecaja nekih globalnih<br />
trendova na određivanje ideala ljepote.<br />
FROM SCALPEL TO HAPPINESS, OR ABOUT HOW A KNIFE<br />
HAS BECOME ONE’S BEST PSYCHOTHERAPIST<br />
The main topic of this presentation is aesthetic surgery as a medicaltechnical<br />
intervention into the human body with the intention to transform<br />
it for the purpose of achieving a desirable physical appearance. Ethical<br />
dilemmas associated with aesthetic surgery occur on at least two levels: on<br />
the level of conflict between the medical-ethical norms and commercial interests<br />
of the medical industry, and on the level of collision between one’s<br />
individual desire to have the freedom of choice as far as one’s own physical<br />
appearance is concerned and the social demands (physical standards and<br />
beauty ideals) influencing that choice. In this context, there are several issues<br />
that need to be addressed: physical disagreeability/undesirability as a<br />
new disease that “needs to be cured”, the justification of aesthetic surgery<br />
in changing racial and ethnic identities, and the power of influence of certain<br />
global trends on defining beauty ideals.<br />
