I don’t keep up with breast implant issues, so I don’t know about that.

Funny how the silicone used in penile implants and hip replacements caused no problems….but put them in the breast, and they cause all sorts of unrelated problems..

I’m not aware of multi- generational studies of the effects of humans eating genetically modified foods.

Yes, there is. ALL the food you eat. Every little bit of it has been genetically modified. Humans have been genetically modifying their food for thousands of years. We can just do it more effeciently with science, that the trial and error, hit or miss and lucky breaks we used to depend on.

I do see a tendency of conservatives to side with big money and corporate interests, regardless of scientific studies.

Agree

There are silicone penile implants?...  I really am behind the times.

Yeah, but they aren’t bags of liquid silicone like the breast implants.  Rather, they are shafts of firm silicone rubber that, when implanted, simulates an erection.

They use silicone as part of their components.

Ouch.  I can appreciate fake boobies, but that doesn’t sound very aesthetic, at all.

Just as you can take fake boobies, I’m sure there are many who can enjoy fake erections.

Well, if someone has gone through the trouble of getting one, I would hope so.
