Listen Vicky,

I didn't come here to debate.

The difference IF YOU HAD READ! was that I am arguing that the liability
SHOULD BE MADE EASIER WHEN SOMEONE IS DAMAGED BY THE ITEMS.

You wanna shove silicone or saline into your chest, I think you got the right.
As far as I am concerned, people have the right to do wahtever thy want with
their bodies. You could have them lobbed off and get a penile rod implanted.

I wouldn't care!

The position of may paper is that when the procedure is cosmetic in nature, and
the physician is shoving something in, if it goes wrong, the physician should
NOT be able to hide behind a law which was designed to help promote the
research and use of pacemakers, and artificial hearts, and artificial limbs!

(Yeah, you need a bust increase as badly as someone who has just lost both legs
in an auto accident needs artificial limbs. After all, you have a birth
defect!)

To anyone else out there who is a bit more rational than Vicky, IF you want to
pump up your chest, I encourage you to get information on the technique used by
Dr. Ftaiha, who is the cheif of Body Contouring Surgery at The Graduate
Hospital in the Philadelphia area. He does liposuction on the areas where you
don't want the fat (thighs, tummy, rump) and injects the fact back into the
breasts. About 50 percent of the transplanted fat remains, the rest is absorbed
by the body.

Instead of those ugly nipple scars, the opening is a needle hole.

Plus, the procedure is so simple, he does not charge extra for the injecting
back into the breasts. You pay for the liposuction, and if you want a bigger
chest, he does the extra step for free.

Your body does not reject the tissue, and you are in and out in one day.
