Javascript : How to add getter to an existing object

I can have a getter in a JavaScript object like this:

var member = {
    firstName:"XYZ", 
    lastName:"zzz", 
    get fullName(){ return (this.firstName + ' ' + this.lastName); }
}

I can even add more properties on the fly, like this:

member.isGuest = true;

But, is there any way we can add getters to an existing object? Something like this:

member.isGuest = get isGuest(){ return this.firstName=='Guest'; }

try defineProperty

Object.defineProperty(member, 'isGuest', {
  get: function() { return this.firstName=='Guest' }
});

You can use the new Object.defineProperty this way:

Object.defineProperty(
    member, 
    'prop', 
    {
        get: function() { 
            return this.lastName.toUpperCase()
        }
    }
);

In the past you had to use __defineGetter__ but now it has been deprecated.
