Hell, I thing we need to treat birth control pills like cigarettes because of the increased health risks for taking birth control pills. All those law school students for reproductive justice would really get their panties in a knot over that!
So tell me of any modern medicine that does not have deleterious side effects. The four page ads Big Pharma puts in the magazines has one page of the "wonder" and three pages of how it will kill you. Maybe that is why they call it "the practice of medicine". Just maybe one of these days they will finish practicing and master the task.

With those mamogram machines abusing womens bodies I believe they cause more problems that they are worth. I am waiting for the day when the inventor uses one to examine himself for testicular cancer.
