> Implants are dangerous. They are not approved by any medical authority, and doctors refuse to perform implants because, unlike pacemakers or artificial hips, implanted electronics violate the Hippocratic Oath -- grinders implant magnets for the sake of augmentation and enhancement. They have no proven health benefits and could result in unnecessary harm.
That does not make much sense. Body piercing, circumcision, tattoo etc.. are similar, but permitted and very common.
- themartorana 10y agoPiercings and tattoos are performed by non-medical professionals. Circumcisions are often performed by a doctor (unless you're Jewish? in which case it may be a mohel who is trained, albeit not always an MD, excuse any ignorance in this area) but I'm forced to imagine the hospital offers this service both based on cultural norms in the US at least, and perhaps out of an abundance of caution, considering it can at least offer sterile conditions and a trained hand for the procedure.
- manachar 10y agoI wonder if you could get similar results by having some magnetic ink tattooed into an optimal pattern on the hand.
