Basic Questions to Issue and 1 potential advantage/disadvantage

Topic 1: The HPV Vaccine Debate

Potential Sources

Information Necessary to Understand Topic Basic Overview: The HPV vaccine prevents infection with the human papillomavirus, which is sexually transmitted. Some parents have wondered why its necessary to give kids shots long before they are sexually active
What it Does Protect Against: What it Doesnt Protect (Think!):

1. Anal carcinoma 2. anal dysplasia 3. cervical cancer

1. Genital warts 2. Anal cancer 3. Penile cancer

% of Cervical Cancer Protection: 75%

% of Genital Wart Protection: 90%

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. vaccine works best and ensures 1. side effect is Guillian-Barre maximum protection if given to Syndrome younger people + 2. Protects against 90% of genital 2. headache warts + 3. Protects against 75% of 3. nausea cervical cancer +

How Many Shots: 3 shots

Is there a shot for boys? What is it called?

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

Gardasil
Cost: $120/dose (total: $360)

This does promote promiscuity because people know that they are immune to the disease which will make them more likely to be promiscuous.

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

Resistance to the spread of infectious disease in a group because susceptible members are few, making transmission from an infected member unlikely. This applies to the debate because some people think that they arent susceptible to disease and do things carelessly which leads to the use of contraceptives.

Topic 2: Emergency Contraception (Plan B)

Potential Sources

My Level of Agreement: Highlight or Underline One (I think this is.) Basic Overview: Emergency contraception is used after having sex to keep a Really Really woman from getting pregnant. It is either used without birth control or Bad For Good for when birth control doesnt work. If you are already pregnant, this will Society Society not work. Potential Advantages Potential Disadvantages Intended Use (Why people use it): How close to failed / no contraceptives: 1. Keeps you from getting 1. Doesnt work if you are already People use this when they dont (Time Frame?) a few months pregnant at an unwanted time pregnant use birth control, were forced to + have sex, their barriers didnt work, 2. can prevent or delay ovulation 2. headaches, dizziness, lower or their birth control failed + stomach cramps, and fatigue Do You Need a Prescription?: No Cost: $50 3. believe that it will lower the 3. risk harming the uterus number of unintended pregnancies and abortions +

Mechanism of action-how it works:

With ECPs, higher doses of the same hormones found in regular birth control pills stop pregnancy by keeping the egg from leaving the ovary or keeping the sperm from joining the egg

Does this promote people not taking accountability for their choices or provide an alternative to someone not wanting to get pregnant?

I believe that this provides an alternative for someone not wanting to get pregnant because they are taking accountability for their choices, they are given more choices.

Level 5: How is this similar/different than the abortion pill (RU-486)? An abortion pill is used to create a miscarriage. It works when you are pregnant for less than 9 weeks and
emergency contraception works within only 5 days. They both stop pregnancy but the abortion pill can be used when you are already pregnant.

Topic 4: The Safe Haven Law

Basic Overview: This legally allows a parent to leave an unharmed baby at places like police stations, hospitals, rescue squads, and fire houses. This prevents babies from being abandoned.

Time Frame: the baby must be less than 30 days old

Approved Locations? police stations, hospitals, rescue squads, and fire houses

What happens to parental rights? The parent loses all parental rights to the infant

What is Illinois Law exactly? Parents can leave a newborn that is less than 30 days old, not abused, or neglected without being questioned. They can do this anonymously.

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

It provides an alternative for a child because it provides a safe and caring home for the child. Level 5: How do state laws vary on this? State laws vary on the age of the baby (ex: in Hawaii the baby must be less than 72 hours old but in Georgia the baby cant b e more
than a week old).
