Will this be like viagra? Where it starts off with one purpose but the main side effects end up as the desired ones?
It doesn't say explicitly that this happened to BOTH boobs. It's entirely possible that this only happened to one of them.
The paper includes images of the patient and specified it was bilateral.
TITIL
So just give them the shot in the other arm next time. Duh.
Occurrence is too low. One day their will be a way to inject a boob growth drug, among other "enhancements".
If that comes first or "bespoke babies" with gene editing comes first is a coin toss.
One day small boobs will be uncommon and I find that unfortunate.
I doubt that. There are both men and women who prefer small.
What might happen, is that whatever cultural ideal becomes contemporary, is also what most people will opt for, but that won't mean people on the fringes of the bell curve stop existing.
I find it more likely that if big breasts become "easy" to get, the ideal will simply shift to something else, as the rarity is part of the appeal.
If a trait becomes common, at least some portion of people lose interest.
re: gene editing
Ummm what kind of deranged psycho would sit in a doctors office and specify:"I want my daughter to have huge tits!"
Sitting US President, probably.
A mom that grew up with small ones. Ladies traumatize each other for that.
Have you met humanity? Once it is introduced, it will take two generations before it is common.
I don't think that that many women want bigger boobs. I have more friends who dislike having big boobs vs small boobs.
We already have drugs that increase breast size, they just have the primary purpose/drawback of inducing lactation.
Speak for yourself
