Did you see this story in today's Guardian.?

Surgical techniques already in existence can be used to stretch torso fat and rejig rib bones to create a wing. Although no human would be able to fly, they would resemble angels and have full sensation in their new hanging, boned flaps of flesh. Rosen has designed blueprints. This is the new world of radical plastic surgery, where Rosen is Moses. He would not be content to settle merely for wings either. He has been working on cochlear implants to enhance human hearing (a procedure which the US military has shown interest in, raising as it does the prospect of super-human soldiers), and even tails.

What prosthetic surgery would you have?

Only your "Judaeo-Christian conservatism" that is holding you back.

It is not quite the same but I would like to be able to do that thing snakes do with their jaws where they sort of dislocate them so they can swallow rats, humans etc. Not that I want to swallow rats whole but it would be a cool trick.

Emma, are you being sexually oppressed by some freak of nature?

Emma

Yeah it would be cool eh. Nick sadly I am not being sexually oppressed (is such a thing possible) but just fancy the idea of being able to do this after Sarah was horrified on Saturday at how wide I could open my mouth (NB NOT IN A SEXUAL SENSE). If I was SnakeJaw Girl I could horrify even MORE people.

I think I'll stick with myself as it is. Besides which, the first person who'll be an angel anyway will be Michael Jackson, which should kill the fad dead.

Christ, I was reading that story earlier today and it made my skin crawl. A man with horns! Aargh!

I predict this will catch on once tattoo parlors become licensed for the procedure. Fred Durst will play a role.

three months pass...

aside from the pointed ears, I would like to see the development of some sort of surgery where the lenses of eyes can be replaced wth contact lenses perminantly especially if it would work with special effects lenses or other coloured contacts, I would love the implant of blue scalera lenses
