Mutilators? What? The patients *elected* to go for the surgery, and were explained the risks. Its not like the plastic surgeons forced the surgery on anyone. The reason why we are now using silicone again is because it is safe.

I'm not advocating getting rid of lawyers, just changing the system so it works more like a market, and less like winning the lottery. Why should you and I have to pay for this sleazy lying lawyer's car collection?
