Imaginary scenarios are something better left for small children, while growing up, not for grown men in today's world. Real life, and lives affected by anyone, or anything in our world, which knowingly causes harm to others, while monetary profits from that harm are generated, is a sin. For over 40 years, breast implant manufactures have had evidence, gathered from their own research departments; to the adverse effects silicone gels and silicone compounds have, and continue to have in the human body. To this day, much of that research data and its conclusions have been withheld from the government, the medical community, and us. 

Thousands of women in our country have suffered irreversible harm, to their bodies, to their minds, and to their souls, as a result of breast implant manufacturers, plastic surgeons greed, and deceptive deceit. Along with the women who have suffered, have been the fathers, mothers, husbands, and children who have also been touched by this injustice. Contrary to what some outspoken pro-choice advocates will say, this is more than a few ill and unhappy individuals, this is thousands of families! 

A member in the plastic surgeon family has recently become critical of the breast implant article in the November issue of Glamour magazine. Briefly, some comments, clarifications, and interpretations need to be established concerning this critic: 

1. I would like to commend the publishers, editors, and writer on the bold and informative presentation, and the willingness to speak against the well established, politically influenced disease, (greed) affecting our society, and the breast implant issue. How ironic, "diseased doctors." 

2. It is well understood, that articles such as these, take the bread off the plastic surgeons table. Their motives need not be questioned. 

3. To practice medicine, and conduct scientific studies, requires a medical degree. To read, and understand a medical study conclusion, does not.  

4. To generate money, and boost circulation, magazines write controversial, and informative articles. Plastic surgeons insert defective breast implants. 

5. There are hundreds of medical documents, and medical studies, supporting this articles content. I might suggest, the good doctor put down the bank statement long enough to pick up one, or two, and read them. 

6. Speaking of misinformation, and sensationalism, think of the pro-choice breast implant motto, The new and whole you. 

7. When someone tells me how experienced, and knowledgeable he, or she is, a small bell goes off. When it happens five times in fifty words or less, a large siren sounds. 

8. Obviously, the good doctors minor in his higher education studies was not mathematics, as indicative of his rupture rate statistics. 

I would like to suggest to any plastic surgeon still believing that breast implants are not harmful in the human body, imagine this .going back to school.
