Re: Newsweek article on breast implants

[Guest guest]

Rogene- Yeah, it totally sucks that Newsweek did an article on breast

implants. But the thing is....I don't think the article is going to

persuade any women into getting implants. If someone is going to get

implants, then they've already made their minds up that they are

going to get them. They are either waiting until they have enough

money, they are done having children, they are old enough, they get

up the nerve to do it, they lose weight, etc. At this point, articles

aren't going to make someone go " hey, that sounds like a good idea, I

think I'll do it. " I feel the only thing we can do is continue to

educate and get the word out there. There are always going to be

articles written about implants and the media will always have

something to say.

Now this is what makes me mad: http://www.breastimplantsafety.org/

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.................
