Quoting syndicated columnist Ellen Goodman:

At the [FDA] hearings, the manufacturers defended silicone as a choice. A
woman doctor said that if ''drugs for erectile dysfunction are sold to
enhance the self-esteem of men," surely silicone implants can be sold to
enhance the self-esteem of women. Never mind the implication that small
breasts are a female form of impotence. We have to ask what societal weight
is there on the ''choice" of appearance over sensation, sex appeal ahead of
breast-feeding, form before function? What risk do you take for beauty?
