RUSIA : A woman in Russia reportedly changed the color of her own eyes in a bid to have a blue-eyed child. According to local media reports, the woman believed that if she became blue-eyed through surgery, her child would also have blue eyes. To this end, he underwent an unapproved cosmetic surgery, in which his eye color was changed through an iris implant. However, experts have described this practice as not only dangerous but also unscientific, because the color of a child’s eyes depends on genetic factors and not on the parents’ surgery or later altered physical characteristics. According to doctors, such surgery carries a risk of vision impairment, damage to the cornea, and even blindness. The incident has sparked a new debate in Russia over the ethical and scientific limits of cosmetic surgery.
