Bioethics of Appearance and the Quality of Life Issue: Who Makes the Decision?

The article by Daniel P. Sulmasy (Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg 2002 ; 126:4-7) presents interesting and important observations on ethical issues concerning otolaryngology and head and neck surgery. Moreover, it is very intriguing while the author deals with one of the eternal questions in all-time philosophy, i.e. the relationship between ethics and esthetics. Sulmasy enters this particular debate leaning on Plato's philosophical system consisting of three basic values (forms): Beauty, Truth and Goodness.
