Would there be the same outcry if it was discovered testicular cancer was also linked to a virus and teenage boys were offered it? I think that might depend on whether the virus was sexually transmitted. I do recall there being noises of outrage at some news stories about condom vending machines going up in schools - but this might just be a false memory kicking in.
*Sigh* I'm not a Christian myself, but I do get tired of hearing all these so-called 'Christian' groups that stand up and bitch about underage sex - not least because it does tarnish the rest of the faith. I'm sure that there are plenty of groups out there with a realistic attitude on all this.
