Topic 1: The HPV Vaccine Debate

Information Necessary to Understand Topic

Potential Sources

What is HPV: Genital human papillomavirus (also called HPV) is the most
common sexually transmitted infection (STI). There are more than 40 HPV types that can infect the genital areas of males and females.

What

it

Does

Protect

Against:

helps protect against 2 types of HPV that cause about 75% of cervical cancer cases, and 2 more types that cause about 90% of genital warts cases. In boys and young men ages 9 to 26, GARDASIL helps protect against approximately 90% of genital warts cases. It also helps protect girls and young women ages 9 to 26 against approximately 70% of vaginal cancer cases and up to 50% of vulvar cancer cases.
% of Cervical Cancer Protection:

What it Doesnt Protect (Think!): 1. Pregnancy 2. Cancer (could be caused be HPV) because its not 100 percent guaranteed to protect against HPV. 3. HPV because its not 100 percent guaranteed to protect against HPV.

My Level of Agreement: Highlight or Underline One (I think this is.) Really Really Bad For Good for Society Society Potential Advantages Potential Disadvantages 1. Less STDs transmitted 1. Its controversial because it sort among people (genital warts). of promotes people to have + multiple partners. 2. Less cervical cancer 2. FDA doesnt know for sure if the + vaccine is safe, it still needs more testing.

3. There has been a lot of serious side effects and even deaths -

75%
How Many Shots:

% of Genital Wart Protection: 90% Is there a shot for boys? What is it called? Gardasil

3. It has been licensed by FDA +

4. Vaccine only lasts for 5 years -

Cost: $130 per vaccine

Does this promote promiscuity or should we take advantage of something that could potentially help us?

I think we should take advantage of this because people are going to have sex anyways. This vaccine is going to take some of the risks away.

Level 5/Extra Credit/Going Beyond: Define Herd Immunity and explain how it applies to the debate.

Topic 2: Emergency Contraception (Plan B)

Information Necessary to Understand Topic

Potential Sources

Plan B Website 1 2

Basic Overview: The morning-after pill contains a high dose of the female

hormone progestin Taking it within 72 hours of rape, condom failure or just forgetting regular contraception can cut the chances of pregnancy by up to 89%, but it works best within the first 24 hours.
Intended Use (Why people use it): Prevent unwanted pregnancy How close to failed / no contraceptives: (Time Frame?)

Taking it within 72 hours of rape, condom failure or just forgetting regular contraception can cut the chances of pregnancy by up to 89%, but it works best within the first 24 hours.
Do You Need a Prescription?: Available to women as young as 15 without prescription. Mechanism of action-how it works: Cost: $40-50

My Level of Agreement: Highlight or Underline One (I think this is.) Really Really Bad For Good for Society Society Potential Advantages Potential Disadvantages 1. Prevents unwanted pregnancy 1. Doesnt work if a woman is + already pregnant 2. Give people a second chance 2. Limited time frame + -

3. Easy to use +

3. There is still a chance of getting pregnant -

Plan B One-Step contains levonorgestrel, a hormone found in most birth control pills, but at a higher dose. It should be taken within 72 hours of unprotected sexual intercourse and is intended to prevent pregnancy if other forms of contraception fail, or if no contraception was used.

Does this promote people not taking accountability for their choices or provide an alternative to someone not wanting to get pregnant? I think that it provides an alternative for people, because an unwanted pregnancy could have a drastic impact on peoples lives.

Level 5: How is this similar/different than the abortion pill (RU-486)?

Topic 3: The Safe Haven Law

1 2 3 4 5 6

Basic Overview: Discusses State laws that provide safe places for parents

to relinquish newborn infants. The purpose of these laws is to prevent these babies from being abandoned at places where they may come to harm.
Time Frame: 30 day time frame Approved Locations?

Police departments of state or private universities or at Illinois State Police district headquarters around the state

My Level of Agreement: Highlight or Underline One (I think this is.) Really Really Bad For Good for Society Society Potential Advantages Potential Disadvantages 1. Protects an infant 1. Some say that it promotes + people not to be accountable 2. Gives the parents a second 2. Emotional burden for the chance parents + -

What happens to parental rights? They get abolished What is Illinois Law exactly? Yes, you can keep your secret and keep

3. An infant will be well cared for +

3. Possible regret later on in life -

your baby safe. The Illinois law says that as long as you don't harm your baby, you can hand your newborn (30 days old or younger) to personnel at any hospital, police station or staffed fire station in Illinois for adoption with no questions asked.

Does this promote people not taking accountability for their choices or provide an alternative to someone not able to provide for a child?

Safe haven law provides an alternative to someone not able to provide for a child, because its better to have the baby safe and well cared for. On the other hand, people would abandon their infants in dangerous places that could harm or kill them.

Level 5: How do state laws vary on this?
