In a world that revolves around impressions, many people that it is very important to look your best at all times. We are constantly seeing images of the "perfect body". From Barbie to Baywatch, American women are constantly being shown images of girls with eighteen inch waists, thirty two inch hips and a D cup chest. Feeling as if they need to achieve this image to be attractive, women flock to the exercise gym in large numbers. They spend two hours a day exercising to achieve that tiny waistline that they desire. They are not satisfied with the chest that God gave them so they also want to alter this aspect of their body. In the past, women did chest exercises to enhance their bustline. As they got smarter, they realized that all that they were doing is enlarging the muscle and in fact minimizing their bustline. In today's age of technology, scientist have developed a way to surgically inhance the size of women's bustlines. By surgically inserting silicone bags i!

nto the breast, women everywhere had the opportunity to achieve the most desirable bustline. A surgery originally intended for reconstructive purposes, by 1990 eighty percent of all implants

Many women have experienced numerous health problems as a result of their breast augmentation surgeries. From rheumatoid arthritis to severe weight loss, they have been through severe pain. It is even rumored that silicone from the ruptured implant will remain trapped inside the fibrous capsule of the scar tissue. The trauma occurred by the patients with ruptured implants was very severe, and someone should be reliable for the pain and suffering of the patients. Due to the fact that the manufacturer put their product on the market without performing suffienct safety tests, I feel that it is the responsibility of the company to compensate the women for their pain as a result of the inefficiency of the manufacturer, Dow Chemical.

The Dow Chemical Company feels that they are not responsible for the punitive damages inflicted amongst the patients. First and foremost, when the product appeared on the market 1978 it was classified by the FDA as a "Class II" device. This meant that they did not need testing to stay on the market. They were legally able to sell their product without testing it for any known health concerns. With the increase of surgeries, in 1989, the implants were was upgraded to a "Class III" device, meaning that all manufacturers must submit safety and efficiency data in order to continue using the silicone implants in breast augmentation surgeries. Dow Chemical complied with this new regulation and the FDA advisory panel concluded that they were not a major threat to human health. Since the FDA concluded that it could not majority hurt any human then the manufacturer should not be responsible for the damages put upon the consumer.

r, Dow Chemical, is the one responsible for repaying patients for damages caused by ruptured breast implants. It is not right that the patients were misinformed as to the possibility of failure and as a result the should be compensated.

is it worth the risk of the possible side effects, I think not.
