I was so excited to hear that we had succesfully created and approved a drug that 100% protects women from cervical cancer.
Since this cancer is caused by a virus transmitted through sex, the new vaccine will most likely be given to young girls, around age 9, to protect them before they even have sex. It will become just as normal as getting a MMR vaccination.
But then I was horrified to hear that religious conservatives are already outraged by this new drug. They say they will teach their daughters to have "good morals" and they won't be having sex before marriage.
Well, what are you going to do when you realize you can't completely control your child's every action? And what about when she gets married? I heard a rumor that some married couples have sex.
