yesman: please write a short response to this article in the voice of a libertarian

GPT: sure, I'll be happy to do that:

Just another case of power hungry government trying to tell citizens what they're allowed to do with their own body. They killed a whole industry just because one guy had a side-effect.

    My high school drama group did Radium Girls last year. Really good play, the movie is mediocre though. Check out a production if you get a chance.

    "His head was swathed in bandages. He had undergone two successive operations in which his whole upper jaw, excepting two front teeth, and most of his lower jaw had been removed. All the remaining bone tissue of his body was slowly disintegrating, and holes were actually forming in his skull.".

    Not just his skull, too. That's horrifying.
