My Findings on Body Art and Modification

Extreme Body Modification is about taking it to the next level. It being the body part being modified to mod technologies and your heart’s content. But how far is too far? In Ottawa, Canada the current debate is how far should a person be able to modify themselves and have it be called expression. Also, at what point does it become surgery?

I think that Expression, in terms of modifications, can still include mods that require surgery. They are just more extreme forms of expression. Like those who get sub dermal implants. If a person wants horns on their head, that is them expressing themselves.

The real debate in Canada is when should it be against the law for the more extreme surgery worthy mods to be deemed illegal for home practice by unlicensed doctors and surgeons. This is a good point. If done incorrectly some of these mods could severely injure or even kill participants.
