The Eye of the Beholder


The end of color contacts? Or the beginning of something really scary? For $5000 and 20 seconds of your time, you can now change your brown eyes to blue. The Washington Post reports that this new procedure is getting mixed reviews from experts. Some doctors claim it will not damage eyesight, while others argue that the destruction of the melanin in the iris can cause seepage which could lead to glaucoma. But, hey, breast implants have been known to leak too. If people want it, they are going to get it.
It makes you wonder if in a few years, what other lovely body modifications will be available to mankind, and how far we will go. Will we end up painted and decorated, and totally opposite of nature, similar to The Capitol citizens in The Hunger Games series?

We're not far off.
