I read the answer by Diana Zuckerman about how she feels regarding the last 25 years when it comes to Women's Health Issues. It is a telling commentary...
You've spent much of your career focusing on women's health issues. What progress have you seen that has been most fulfilling? What issue remains problematic that 25 years ago you thought certainly would've been better by now?
Working in health policy, I saw that major scandals involving medical products affected women, such as thalidomide (a drug for pregnant women that caused devastating birth defects), DES (a drug for pregnant women that caused cancer and infertility in their children), and the Dalkon Shield (a contraceptive that caused infertility and death). As a result, most medical products are more carefully tested today, for women and men. The 'families' in 'National Research Center for Women & Families' always included men, but we started the Cancer Prevention and Treatment Fund to more explicitly show that we work to improve the effectiveness of products, programs, and policies for all members of the family. Unfortunately, even today there are medical products sold in the U.S. with risks that outweigh the benefits for many people."
