The Gardasil Controversy

When the Gardasil vaccine ads hit mainstream media, it was sort of a controversial topic. Parents were concerned that if they got their children vaccinated, then it would be sending them the message that premarital sex is ok. Although I sympathize with parents, I also feel that getting them vaccinated would be the smartest thing for them to do. I know that "kids will be kids" is a bad way to look at it, but kids really will be kids. If they are interested in sex, they will have it (or so I believe...I'm not trying to offend anybody). I believe that parents should get their kids vaccinated JUST IN CASE. A kid most likely isn't going to tell his or her parents when he or she begins to have sex, so why not protect them from the very start? Seems like it's the best way to go. I know that it's a touchy subject, but it's definitely worth thinking about rather then keeping a closed mind. As for Gardasil, I think that they picked an interesting target audience for their commercials. It really got parents thinking, and that can never be a bad thing.
