This is gross.

If surgeries like this were popular in a Muslim country, we would use it as evidence of their backwards-ness.

Now, a new surgical technique is giving girls with a past a new future.

"The hymen's a delicate membrane that separates girls from women," said Dr. Robert Stubbs, who runs the Cosmetic Surgicentre in Toronto, where, in a simple, half-hour operation, he turns sexually experienced women into surgical virgins.

The surgery is called hymen restoration — a relatively simple procedure that stitches back together what a moment of passion might have shattered.


Well, I guess girl power is now officially out of style. That is icky on many subtle levels...physical, emotional, and social. If I had a teenage daughter, I would absolutely forbid her from getting an operation like this!
