   I don't think it is even ethical to make plastic surgery to make someone look like a cartoon character.  I would question mental health of those girls, but if it is already happening and it is, it's time to stop and think what can be done to stop it.  The society is clearly derailed.  What do you suggest can be done?

   Hopefully there is a law as to how young a person can have this type of plastic surgery.  I think it is terrible wrong that young girls think so badly of their self image they would even want this surgery.  Even when someone has a sex change they have to go through years of therapy before they even have the surgery.  What ever happened to being happy with what God gave you?  Oops I answered your question with a question.

   I hope a girl that is considering such crazy idea thinks about this. I,m a guy and if I want a plastic girl that looks like a doll, I can order one for $39.99 out of a catalogue that inflates. I don,t have to feed her, talk to her, or even love her. And she is much cheaper to maintain. Is that the image you want of yourself? I think not. At least I hope not. If your self esteem would be that low, you need much more help than a surgeon.

   I think it's a tragedy and I would want far more stringent laws in place to guarantee proper structure to this industry, which is running amok. Cosmetic surgery is now within reach of millions of young people and is a bit like the internet - the law can't keep up with the speed of development.
   
   The craziest things are happening to young people in this quick fix age of idealism and perfection. The pressure is on for teenagers to become anything other than their true selves!! I also have some sympathy for those girls who want to become prettier, sexier, more 'attractive', - there is so much hype around - t.v., ads,movies, magazines - the relentless quest for bigger boobs, lips, eyes, smooth skin.....aaaaggghhhh. It just gets too much! You can't simply buy a new image and expect it to work.
   
   There should be a real concerted effort to counter balance this effect with some sane sound old fashioned advice and counselling.

   Wow, that is really sad. The hurt in these girl's hearts and minds that makes them do something so dramatic seems to be a cry out for help of some sort.
   I have no experience in or knowledge of counseling, but will take the liberty to venture a quick personal opinion: These girls seem sad and deeply dissatisfied with their lives.
   The affected girls need to address this by talking and sharing - equally, I hope that the people around them will give them the opportunity and supportive environment to do so.
   Laws and regulations aside (and with all due respect to Sarra Garrett's valid comments) I would hope that society can develop a healthier self-image for its young adults to avoid being dictated to by entertainment and cartoon shows.

   before you do anything to your body I think you should ask the question "If I make it to 80 am I gonna look like". or "How embarrest are my grand kids gonna be around me." I can understand some plastic surgery people get but this is one of those extrem examples where you kinda just gotta shake your head and wonder why people do what they do.

   This is an interesting question because we have to decide where we draw the line between allowing freedom and protecting people from themselves. Right now there doesn't appear to be a line at all when it comes to plastic surgery. If people want to have horns or strange lumps all over their faces - or look like cartoon characters or dolls - it gets done.  It's arguably their right to choose. But should there be more controls?
   
   The saddest story I read was of a young British woman who had been sexually abused for years as a child. She had grown up to be very pretty, but could not bear it when men looked at her in that appreciative way men do; it aroused fear in her amounting to panic. So she went to a plastic surgeon and asked him to make her ugly. He did. He destroyed the symmetry of her face and did other things to make her look very unnattractive. She said she felt so much better because men didn't look at her any more, so as far as he was concerned, he'd done a good thing - satisfied customer!
   
   It would be obvious to anyone that this girl needed some kind of help with the emotional consequences of being abused as a child, not surgery to make her ugly. Making her ugly simply panders to and further entrenches the emotional state resulting from the abuse. We hear that the first rule of surgeons is "First, do no harm" but this clearly does not apply to plastic surgeons and there seems to be no control of them at all.
   
   Are people who want bizarre plastic surgery by definition suffering from some mental problem, or could they be rational, happy eccentrics?  If the latter, how can we protect those who really need emotional or psychological help from undergoing surgery which is not only unnecessary but possibly very harmful to their lives and in the long term to their mental state?

    I feel that yes some laws should be put into place to keep young women from abusing themselves this way, and maybe we as the human race should get out and offer some counseling to young women like the one shown in the picture above. Obviously society and America has set the tone for young women to change the God given beauty they were blessed with. Honestly, if I walked past someone that really looks like that I would be totally creeped out worse than I am just looking at the photo. It's scary and inhumane. It should be a wake up call to everyone saying look what our youth has to look forward to, and look what the social media has done to the human ego.
         People should realize that if you ever think about getting plastic surgery you're just opening up the door of unhappiness even more. A person is never happy with one plastic surgery job and they continue until it greatly affects their health and it becomes a deeply psychological illness that is hard to cure/treat.
         We were not made to be perfect at all, so I think everyone should be happy with themselves. Everyone was born with flaws and if God didn't want us to have them then guess what?! He wouldn't have put them there.

    I think its awful. But what's more awful is the self esteem these girls must have to do this to themselves. I feel like society pigeonholes young adults, especially young women, into trying to perfect their looks instead of their talents and somehow, the most physically beautiful girls find a reason to think they're ugly. I think too, that we are responsible for ingraining this into our girls from a very young age on. I saw a post on facebook once that showed all of the Disney princesses and made a note of how each girl was not good enough on her own, but needed to rely on her beauty to "win" a man to save her.
    I think we should be focusing on our kids minds instead of how cute they are from a very early age. My daughter is only 2 and I take every opportunity to tell her how smart she is and focus on her developing talents. I want her to know that her looks are not what will get her places in life. It is her mind that will help her get far.

    I don't think it's any worse than people who get full body tattoos, thousands of piercings, and those strange hypodermic implants.  Those people don't even look human, at least these doll girls still look human.  As for the ethics of a doctor doing this to someone, I believe all of the girls are from Eastern Europe where ethics boards probably do not exist. Their plastic surgeons just take their money and do whatever they are asked to do.  Mental health services are not as widely available over there as they are here. It is a shame.
    
    A woman who would do this to herself probably does not have much brains to begin with and working as a doll model may be her best shot at success in life.

    I think its stupid and unethical, why would you want to be dressed or look like a doll. A toy that has no feelings, no nothing. It's the society that's promoting this garbage anyway, with the media and celebrities. Society is part of the problem but also the parents as well. Their the ones you buy into this crap, and pay for their daughters to look like whoever on magazines. Parents have to educate their children and spend more time with them. I think that's where parents go wrong, their so caught up with work and their own lives, at the end of the day they forget about their children. Children have a lot to deal with throughout the day, bullying, peer pressure, insecurity. So I advise parents take the time out of your day to spend with your kid. Just maybe your kid won't turn out to be like that.

    I see some good answers here...
    I think it's probably becoming a new religion, something that a traditional society hasn't recognized it yet. Or something that hasn't been fully given a definition for now.
    
    If Bill Gates had monopolized the world with a computer system, then think about what Japan had done with its animation industry. The ability to offer a different world, fantasy, dreams, unreal desires etc to the boring routine of real worlds. And it doesn't just stop at providing the baseline for beauty... the genres of anime is so large ... and the 'creativity' of the anime artists are spreading like wildfires across the globe. Not all anime could catch the hearts of young readers, some had failed miserably in content and characters.
    
    As long as the business is good, they will probably not care what actually happens to the society. It's a whole package businesses, from anime series to costume, cosmetics... then to plastic surgeries...

    I think the problem with legislation in an area like this is that it starts to become an issue of personal freedom. If laws were passed, people would just go to another country for the surgery.
    
    It is sad to think that there are a lot of people with genuine 'defects' from birth or an accident that would love surgery to look normal/ordinary, but cannot afford it.
    
    Some plastic surgeons seem to have very little in the way of ethics, I know a couple of people who've consulted a surgeon for a single procedure, like a breast lift, and the surgeon then said things like "we can fix your thighs and bottom, and get rid of that bump on your nose.." The poor women come out of that office feeling ten times worse about themselves.

    I think that society as whole is just lost.We put so much emphasis on beauty and fame and less on hard work and then we get surprised when the younger generation takes this as the criteria for happiness.
    We should first clean up our acts before we set about correcting what is wrong in the young children of today.
    As for the little girl in question, where is the mother and how does she act? A dysfunctional family that does not take care of its children and makes them feel loved creates problematic children who are crying for attention.
