Watch the narratives. Where do we as a society talk about #regret? Especially in defiance of the data?

* #Abortion (<5% https://www.ucsf.edu/news/2020/01/416421/five-years-after-abortion-nearly-all-women-say-it-was-right-decision-study )
* #Hysterectomies (2-4%)
* #GenderAffirmationSurgery (0-2%)
* #Trans hormone treatments (no evidence of regret, https://abcnews.go.com/Health/wireStory/common-transgender-treatment-regret-detransitioning-97640151)

Not:

* Cosmetic surgery in minors (~10%)
* Hormone treatments to control adult height (as high as 41%)
* Knee replacements (21%)

Weirdly we don't suddenly see Republican legislators trying to ban knee replacements

#RegretRate for various surgeries:

* Knee surgery: 22% total regret, 2.9% even without complications http://doi.org/10.1186/s12891-020-3041-y

* Back surgery: 21% in older adults http://doi.org/10.1097/BRS.0000000000004287

* Regret of having children: varies by study, but usually in the 10-20% range http://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0254163

* Breast reconstruction after a mastectomy: 19.5% moderate to strong regret http://doi.org/10.1080/14768320601124899
