Sounds like you like speculating without the benefit of any scientific research or facts. There has been little scientific research that shows the implants are harmless. And that was why Dow eventually lost lawsuits. They lied - claiming they had done the research that showed it was safe when they hadn't. -jim

Numerous studies arouhnd the world have show Silicone breast implants were not responsible for the problems claimed.

Well that is hardly the case. There is still significant risks and precautions involved with breast implants. A trip to the FDA web site and see what they say about the risk: [Quote] Some of the risks of breast implants include: * reoperations (additional surgeries), with or without removal of the device * capsular contracture (hardening of the area around the implant) * breast pain * changes in nipple and breast sensation * rupture with deflation for saline-filled implants * rupture with or without symptoms for silicone gel-filled implants * migration of silicone gel for silicone gel-filled breast implants. For a more complete description of the possible risks and complications of breast implants, see Breast Implant Consumer Handbook: Local Complications and Reoperations3. You can also find a list of complications for each approved breast implant in the patient labeling; see Labeling for Approved Breast Implants.

And maybe if the studies had been done before litigation instead of as a consequence of litigation everyone would have been better off. But whether the problems claimed could be proven to be directly caused by breast implants wasn't the central issue at trial. The issue that convinced the jury was that Dow was not truthful about revealing risks they knew about and what they knew and didn't know about the safety of the product. -jim
