    Type of Work: Indy Product: Word Doc/Embedded Class Time: 1 Period Class/1 HW EOC: Embed/Snip (Lesson 6) Due: 3 Periods
    Concept: Below are some of the most recent developments related to reproductive health in our society. Your job will be to provide an analysis of these developments. As we discussed in the beginning of the unit sex ed is a values driven topic. These issues are inherently controversial themselves because although there are facts that may help you understand them; ultimately you see these facts through the prism of your own perception (values, morals, upbringing, etc.)! The sources listed are just a starting point, remember that any information may be biased and it is your job as an educated consumer to carefully analyze information for validity, reliability, and bias. Goal: Provide an analysis of the recent developments in reproductive health demonstrating an understanding of content specific information necessary to understand each issue (ie. What strains are protected against in the HPV vaccine, approved locations for the Safe Haven law). Complete each level (not just 1) working from top/down based on level attempted. ----------------Extra Credit Offered for Each Question-------------------

    Topic 1: The HPV Vaccine Debate


    Information Necessary to Understand Topic

    Potential Sources

    Overview of the HPV Vaccine: HPV vaccines are given as a series of three shots
    over 6 months to protect against HPV infection and the health problems that HPV infection can cause.

    What it Does Protect Against: 1. Cervical cancer 2.Genetal warts 3. anal cancer

    What it Doesnt Protect (Think!): 1.women who already have infections 2.Doesnt cure the disease 3.

    % of Cervical Cancer Protection:

    % of Genital Wart Protection:

    70%
    How Many Shots:3 shots Is there a shot for boys? What is it called?

    My Level of Agreement: Highlight or Underline One (I think this is.) Really Really Bad For Good for Society Society Potential Advantages Potential Disadvantages 1. cuts down deaths caused by 1. We dont know what the these conditions downsides of it because it is a new + vaccine. 2. No research that correlates 2. People can still have STDs vaccines with mental retardation. + 3. Helps fight different types of 3. Only protects against 4 types cancers. +

    Does this promote promiscuity or should we take advantage of something that could potentially help us?

    Yes, it is called Gardasil.


    Cost: 130$ per

    It does promote promiscuity; it is kind of a safety net for people who sleep around. And yes we should take advantage of this vaccine.

    Level 5/Extra Credit/Going Beyond: Define Herd Immunity and explain how it applies to the debate. Herd immunity is when a majority of the population get a vaccination for a disease, that will protect other people in the population against the disease. This applies because if a lot of people are getting the vaccination, then more people in the world are protected against this.

    Topic 2: Emergency Contraception (Plan B)


    Information Necessary to Understand Topic

    Potential Sources

    Plan B Website 1 2

    Basic Overview: Plan B is a birth control pill you can use 5 days after having unprotected sex.

    Intended Use (Why people use it): If you have had unprotected sex and you feel like you are becoming pregnant, you can take the pill and you will not have to worry about having a baby.

    How close to failed / no contraceptives: (Time Frame?) 120 hours (5 days)

    My Level of Agreement: Highlight or Underline One (I think this is.) Really Really Bad For Good for Society Society Potential Advantages Potential Disadvantages 1.Less teen moms 1. We dont know the long term + consequences of this pill. 2. Less unplanned pregnancy 2. People who cannot afford the + pill will have to keep the baby. -

    Do You Need a Prescription?: No

    Cost: 35-60$

    3. gives the adults a better life also +

    3. 15 women out of 100 who use emergency contraception will become pregnant -

    Mechanism of action-how it works:

    Only works if egg hasnt been fertilized yet. It prevents the ovulation process. Doesnt not abort the baby it stops it from happening. Level 5: How is this similar/different than the abortion pill (RU-486)?
    Plan b is a very high dose of the same hormone.

    Does this promote people not taking accountability for their choices or provide an alternative to someone not wanting to get pregnant? This absolutely doesnt help people be accountable for their actions; this tells them that if they make a mistake then they do not have to deal with the consequences.

    Topic 3: The Safe Haven Law


    Information Necessary to Understand Topic

    Potential Sources

    1 2 3 4 5 6

    Potential Advantages 1.gives moms a safety net + 2. gives the baby a better life +

    Potential Disadvantages 1.More orphaned kids 2.Can make people ignorant and reckless about sex. 3. -

    What happens to parental rights? 60 days after you have no parental rights. What is Illinois Law exactly? Illinois law states that they will take in any baby left at one of the approved locations.

    3. Fights against teen pregnancy +

    Does this promote people not taking accountability for their choices or provide an alternative to someone not able to provide for a child?

    This will show people the consequences of having a baby because they still have to carry the baby but it will let the parents get rid of the responsibility of having a baby. Level 5: How do state laws vary on this?
