It makes one wonder, what is the " Mission Statement " of this company

(and others like it, Mentor, Inamed)? To harm human beings and then

vehemently deny it?

LOL. I am sure that is not their intended mission statement, but

that is certainly what they've been doing for years, isn't it? Like

every company out there, I am sure they want to believe that they

are providing a line of products that " make the world a better

place. " But from whose perspective? I can only wonder, how many

millions of people have died so they can make their millions of

dollars, which benefit a select few. If only we could hear what

goes on behind their closed doors....I wonder what burdens any of

them carry for living with deadly lies?
