Hymenoplasty

I was at Starbucks this morning...and read something quite interesting in the NYT.
There was an article about Muslim women in France getting hymenoplasties. Apparently the cosmetic surgeons have outdid themselves, by restoring women's hymen. I am not sure if I have any fully formed thoughts on the matter yet. I suppose now you could restore someones virginity. What does it mean anyway? A women who has been raped can get a hymenoplasty, but that would not restore what has been heinously taken from her. But I don't pretend, not be happy for women who would like to have their hymens replaced for the purpose of marriage. Although I am not sure I would want these women to be married to men who have such ridiculous demands on them. Like I said I have not yet fully developed my thoughts on this development.

But it has certainly got my wheels turning. I miss being at debate tournaments. I miss the constant intellectual stimulation. I suppose I have let other things get in the way of my intellectual journey. But all is well, I just have to find my center again and all will work as it should.
