10/07 The Latest Debates
Quote From: divableu21Exceptionally well put. This really isn't just a moral or medical issue. So many myths circulate about sex and human anatomy, it is simply astonishing. Sexual education, at least from a medical standpoint needs to be taught. There are many people my age (22-25 range) who still don't know exactly how a baby is created. All they know is that sex is somehow involved. That is so sad, if schools at the very very least taught just this bare minimum, and allowed parents to take care of the ethical stuff, we'd be in somewhat better shape It's almost funny you mention the issue of so many people not understanding reproduction. When I was about 9 years old I went to a the Museum of Natural Science and History in Ft. Worth. There was a reproductive area that showed the stages of development of human babies. There was a little fetus in one of the glass jars, a real one tha was a lost baby. I thought that was pretty gross and sad and morbid, but anyway I got to talking about miscarriage with my friend's grandma, and she told me you poop out babies when you have a miscarriage. Coming from someone who had 2 kids I thought she should no better. I said, that's not true you don't poop them out, and she said, yes you do! I have no idea why a woman would tell that to a child. I could only figure she was embarassed to talk about the female organs, maybe she had a vagina phobia.
