Attended a lecture by Dr Ian Frazer this morning. During the lecture, my friend and classmate was asking me about where HPV can also go and cause cancers. I've heard about how it is related to oral and anal CA but wasn't sure if it was already conclusive. Well, Dr Frazer helped and said that it is already proven. And browsing through wiki, I saw that the HPV vaccine was recently approved by the US FDA for use against anal CA. Interesting... I wonder if the government would ever have a vaccination program for anal HPV infection which you get from having anal intercourse. I think it'll be a long time before they'll do that. They already have a hard time enacting a law that would serve the needs of half of the population ie the women since some people do not want their taxes being spent on contraceptives and sex ed. HPV vaccine for men will benefit the MSM and gay population more than the straight population and I find it difficult for those same people who oppose a certain bill to swallow the fact that the money they give to government will be spent on vaccines to protect the sinners from disease they think the sinners deserve (as if they they want these people to experience hell here on earth or fear that the gays wouldn't go to hell since hell probably doesn't exist in the  first place).

If you just use arguments based on rights and health, we wouldn't have this conundrum. Why can't people just let others live? Their salvation isn't even at stake.
