Topic 1: The HPV Vaccine Debate

Information Necessary to Understand Topic

Potential Sources

Basic Overview: Is the most common sexually transmitted virus in the United States. At least 50% of sexually active people will have genital HPV at some time in their lives.

What it Does Protect Against: 1. Prevents infection with the sexually transmitted 2. Spreading some diseases 3. Some cancers % of Cervical Cancer Protection:

2. Promotes that you cant get a disease but can 3. Could get cancer from shot -

How Many Shots: 3 shots Cost: $360 for the 3 shots

Is there a shot for boys? What is it called? Yes there is, it is called Gardasil

Does this promote promiscuity or should we take advantage of something that could potentially help us? This is promoting promiscuity because its encourage sex and safe sex when it turns out isnt really safe.

Plan B stops the release of an egg from the ovary. It might prevent sperm from fertilizing the egg.

Does this promote people not taking accountability for their choices or provide an alternative to someone not wanting to get pregnant? This promotes someone not taking accountability for his or her choices and actions. It is his or her choice to have sex. Plan B should only be use if someone got rape or force to have sex.

Level 5: How is this similar/different than the abortion pill (RU-486)? They are completely different. The abortion pill gets rid of a pregnancy that has already been
implanted. Plan B is a pill that helps prevents pregnancy by delaying the egg become fertilize.

So the big question is how would condom availability affect the student body? Does it promote unhealthy behavior or are you providing a healthy outlet for those that will do it anywaysif so is it even a schools place to get involved ?

2. Baby will maybe get a better life + 3. Its better than apportion +

2. The baby maybe never know who their real father or mother are 3. Never enjoy being with your child -

What happens to parental rights? The parents rights go away completely

What is Illinois Law exactly? You can leave your baby up to 30 days old, with a staff member of a hospital, fire station, police station, or medical service provider.

Does this promote people not taking accountability for their choices or provide an alternative to someone not able to provide for a child? I think this provides an alternative for someone. Its good that they had the child but they might not be able to have or keep the child. They might not have the money or safe home, if any home.

Level 5: How do state laws vary on this?
