The ‘Three Wishes’ just got better Upgrade-Ya

Upgrade-Ya is a brilliant new product from Keuwl Laboratories that essentially makes sure that you are perfect and exactly who you want to be. No longer will you ever need to wish upon a star or blow on dandelions. Upgrade-Ya can make you fatter or thinner, taller or shorter, prettier or uglier, with little or no side effects!

Arguments For and Against

You will only be healthy on the outside, not the inside. You can’t change that, just your outward appearance. So, what if Upgrade-Ya really doesn’t make you more healthy and good looking, because inside you will be feeling rubbish? Wouldn’t this affect your appearance as well? And self-esteem. If your self-esteem is apparently being boosted by this, wouldn’t it just go down again because of the sickness?

But what about the benefits? You can get higher self-esteem for more than one place, you know. More friends will give you more respect for yourself, ergo, higher self- esteem. Isn’t it better to feel good about yourself than feel like you constantly need to improve? Happiness is important. If you have to change yourself to feel good about yourself, then that is entirely your own choice.

Aha! But your friends won’t be true friends. They won’t like you for who you are, only for who you want to be. It is better to have real friends who respect you the way you are, and don’t try to change you just so you can fit in. You would be living a fake life that way, and wouldn’t be the real you. While I agree that the happiness of the individual in question is important, nothing is so important that you have to change yourself to achieve it.

At the moment, without factors like Upgrade- Ya, I believe that I am relatively well balanced. Exercise: I play tennis and hockey, and I enjoy swimming. Not laps, though. I walk/scooter to and from school as well. Food: I don’t get many really sugary foods at home (e.g. lollies) and my favourite food is vegetarian spring rolls. Go figure. Drink: I don’t like any fizzy drinks, so that’s a bonus in my favour.

Compared to that, identifying identical twins is a piece of cake. With whipped cream, sprinkles and a bucket of cherries on the top.
