No one is saying to rely solely on circumcision No, nobody is, but that is how a great deal of people will see it. I would not be surprised if men in Africa got circumcised just to prove that they are "safe". These findings could be dangerous when interpreted incorrectly. quote:
As but one example, I am going to have my daughter vaccinated with the HPV vaccine, and I am not going to ask her if she consents. It is the right thing to do. Sorry, I know this is off topic but there have been instances of vaccines that have gone bad after a few years of actual use. I think I would be on the safe side and wait, she can always get vaccinated, but potentially still unknown side effects could ruin her life. This way you could be sure it is truly safe ( what works in a rat does not always in a human ) and she could later consent to what she wants in her body. Just my opinion. OH, PLEEZE . . . So, we should ignore what appears to be a verified method of reducing the spread of HIV?? Are you really serious? As for the HPV vaccine, the vaccine has been shown to be most effective, if given in early adolescence, around the age of 13. That is why it has not yet been approved for women over the age of 26. Look, you can ignore this information if you choose to, but on these two issues, the evidence appears to be quite strong. Dan
