Let them die?

A blog post that talks about medicine that helps prevent a sexually transmitted disease for females, and the debates that surround the implementation of the vaccination in programs for women wanting the protection. I find it a bit arrogant to block vaccination programs based on a conservative view that is not shared by many in the community. The moral view of something like sex (as opposed to something like violence) greatly varies between people; therefore such a decision to block the implementation of vaccination programs to push a certain value system regarding such a morally hazy matter is unacceptable. The decision is supporting some communities within the larger American community and discriminating against other smaller communities who share different beliefs. So, is medicine a temptation which aids in giving way to other temptation?

Your views sound fresh and nice! I agree that religion is highly personal and that it can be interpreted and approached in various ways. The only time I start having a problem with beliefs and religion is when it discriminates – something I readily “diss” because I think discrimination is harmful, and moreover, I think the absoluteness of the views that cause the disrimination is ludicrious.
