E. g. the use of cancer vaccines, which have become available for cervical cancer have been
developed, these are given to teenagers or preteens, this raised many ethical issues, saying that this
was encouraging children to engage in sexual activity from an early age. Such an issue is raised due to
the fact that cervical cancer is acquired through a virus called the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), this
virus is spread through the onset of sexual activity, thus a woman is likely to get cancer if she does
indulge in sexual activity, and preventing her from cancer would then be required once she has been
sexually active, and giving it to teenagers meant they were being encouraged to engage in sexual
activity. The risk of cancer, however, is high at the reproductive stage of life due to the fact that the
HPV may multiply in the affected cells causing issues. This is such situations ‘prevention is better than
cure’ becomes true, however culturally we are still to accept that.
