I have one last general question. Unlike a lot of medical devices, there was pervasive class action litigation over breast implants, both in the United States and Canada. Tens of thousands of women have joined these lawsuits, and there have been multi-hundred-million-dollar settlements by breast implant manufacturers.
Does that weigh into your thinking at all in terms of the urgency? I note that we've created the first registry for hips. Does it not make sense to do breasts first?
I was going to ask if there is a gendered aspect to this. As far as I know, there have been no mass class action suits against hip replacement manufacturers.
Why is it so slow on breast implants, given the litigation and the injuries that have occurred to date?
