The FDA is a quasi-judicial agency with no Congressional oversight. The Board is comprised of former heads of the drug companies that apply for FDA approval. There is an inherent conflict of interest built into this FDA approval system that must be re-evaluated in order for the public to trust the FDA approval process. As it stands now, there are too many unsafe products and drugs not being vetted properly that cause harm to the public. IE: Vioxx - a multi-billion dollar money-making drug ultimately recalled because it caused death (as many as 55,000 people in one estimate)When it comes to saving Merck in the Vioxx litigation, the FDA is at odds with some of the most powerful leaders in Congress. Senator Charles Grassley (R-Iowa), chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, is on record as saying the Vioxx debacle has shown that the FDA has gotten too cozy with drug companies to conduct proper oversight.When it comes to saving Merck in the Vioxx litigation, the FDA is at odds with some of the most powerful leaders in Congress.

How could you not research this before some doctor cuts you open and changes your appearance? I don't trust the FDA and look at any medication or procedure through my own research and talk to others. Even if you want a procedure you have to look at all the risks. I thought about breast implants for five minutes until I realized they weren't really necessary. The FDA is a joke and I empathize with your bad experience. I had an idiot doctor tell me that if I had a baby it would help my endometriosis. This guy is a moron because I had repeatedly told him I HATE KIDS. When I looked up this disease I found there is nothing that states having a child will get rid of or improve this disease. I also talked to two women who had kids and their endometriosis was as bad as ever, plus they had to deal with children along with their illness. I've since switched doctors. I agree that we need a leader who cares about all risks and demands that they are displayed for the public.
