Last group discussion


In our latest group discussion we mostly discussed the whole morality factor behind that vaccine called Gardasil. So basically, we each gave our own opinion on aspects such as the parents POV (point of view) when their normal and healthy daughther contracts diseases shortly after being inoculated with a new vaccine that was supposed to help her in the first place. According to the text, parents are more likely to send their kids to get a shot against a sexually transmissible disease than to sit with them and discuss the matter. However, we could not say that all parents want the easy way out of a problem only by basing ourselves on one article, but we did found that it is always better, in our opinion, to have conserned parents that will discuss these kind of issues with their kids instead of letting them hear it from a stranger or a doctor when it is too late. With the statistics the article gave us about the efficiency of the Gardasil shot, we all had to share our thoughts whether to keep or to ban this vaccine. Looking at the costs and benefits of this product, we found that it would be in the governments' advantage to take this vaccine out of the market for a while in order to do more research on it!
