Behind The Headlines: FDA Implant Decision

Wednesday, a federal advisory panel recommended the Food & Drug Administration lift the ban on silicone gel breast implants. Given that silicone has previously been linked to numerous health risks, the recommendation may seem like quite a surprise. But has anyone bothered to look at the people who actually make up this panel?



Conflict-of-interest much? When the transcripts of these hearings are finally published, by either the Government Printing Offices or FHM, I hope we learn this was an honest, thorough investigation and not a bureaucratic circle jerk run amuk. Until then, bon appétit, gentlemen.

Coming soon: Should De-Evolution be taught in the classroom?
