So, greetings from Bali! You might well wonder what there is to blog about regarding bioethics in Bali, but one of the things that slaps you upside the head as you are coming into the country is number of advertisements for Botox, 'vaginal rejuvenation', cosmetic stem cell procedures, IVF, and other elective procedures -- all advertised as half the price as in the US -- encouraging Indonesia as the spot for medical tourism. In fact, you can watch your procedure done in virtual 3D.
