It is a basic human right to be able to do what you wish with your own mind or body. If you are brunette and wish to be blonde, a million salons will oblige.
If you want bigger or smaller boobs, a hair transplant or a nicer nose, cosmetic clinics await. If you are scared of spiders, terrified of heights, embarrassed by anger issues or fed up with a relationship, a veritable army of therapists is on standby.
