Plastic Surgery

From a public relations view the Mutto Museum's video did a generally good job of making the museum look as if it is a scientific tool for medicine.  However, as discussed in class that is not the case.  Most of their business comes from the general public which they decided to graze over in their video.  With all of the cultural practices such as shrinking heads, I thought about what a museum might look like in 50 years, a 100?  I thought about how our society is fascinated by the physical body and its beauty and its deformities.  Plastic surgery is a huge trend among those who have the means.  We see people altering their bodies in a number of ways and I wonder how that will be displayed years from now.  Will future society put those on display that have altered their body to the extreme?
