does this surprise anyone really? i mean you are talking about putting a foreign substance into the body in a part of the body already susceptible to cancer. i do not know why people are not more careful with what they do to their bodies just for the sake of vanity. it really sickens me. we have become a country that really puts value on those that look good and the heck with those who don't. well for me i look at the inside of a person because that is what really counts.

Well I am not critical of women who want them. There is risk with anything like that. Me, I will just deal with what I was born with. At least its cheaper that way.

Well another good reason not to have this surgery done. I am a woman but I am satisfied with what the good Lord gave me and lucky so is my husband. If this doesn't change alot of people's mind about it then I don't know what would.

Hi ronaldinu, Thank God that I am a woman but don't believe in all that stuff and I am happy to have what God give me and its all mine. That is the cost of vanity I'm afraid. Tamara
