Like millions of less celebrated Americans, Carnie Wilson was not just fat. At 5 ft. 3 in. and more than 300 lbs., she was morbidly obese--more than 100 lbs. above her ideal body weight. After trying all sorts of diets that didn't work, the daughter of Beach Boy Brian Wilson and member of the now disbanded pop trio Wilson Phillips turned to a drastic last resort: gastric-bypass surgery. Doctors sewed up most of her stomach, reducing it to a tiny receptacle that holds several tablespoonfuls at best, and isolated much of her small intestine to reduce nutrient...

Two decades of restrictive family-planning policies have resulted in a drastic gender imbalance-the country is missing 50 million girls who would have been born if not for sex-based abortions and female infanticide. Sons are valued far more than daughters in China because males maintain the family line and care for parents when they grow old. Girls, on the other hand, leave their parents' home for their husband's clan when they marry. In China's poorest villages, fathers don't even count their daughters when asked how many children they...
