There have been a lot of lawsuits (I think even a class action suit) by
women who were harmed when their silicone breast implants broke and the
silicone spread to all kinds of weird places in their bodies and had to be
surgically removed..

That's why I chose saline. If they break, the fluid is just absorbed into
the body.
