Open Question: Uganda & sodomy laws: Is it legitimate for a government to prohibit specific sexual acts for medical rather...?

......than religious reasons? {The Uganda controversy led to my thinking about the question but this is NOT a description of the circumstances in Uganda nor the motivation of the Ugandan government. My primary question and the elaboration below if purely theoretical and not at all restricted to Uganda or some specific place.} That is, while most people denounce the idea of governmental laws existing purely for religious reasons, what about laws which may prohibit specific sexual acts for medical and public health reasons? For example, on what basis (other than your personal opinion or preference) is it inherently wrong for a government to ban a some corporeal act which is not necessary for maintaining human life or reproducing it? (I define that caveat to accept the obvious fact that eating and heterosexual sex are biological functions which entail risks of spreading disease but it wouldn't make sense for a government to ban them for public health reasons because they entail undeniable benefits which are required by our species for survival.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ OPTIONAL EXAMPLE: LAWS PROHIBITING ANAL SEX FOR MEDICAL REASONS So specifically, as an example, what about a government enacting a law prohibiting anal sex? (For the sake of this theoretical scenario, whether hetereosexual or homosexual couples are involved is immaterial.) After all, the medical literature is full of attestation of the high levels of health risks -- and dangers to the public health -- associated with anal sex. And as former Surgeon General Everett Koop used to say when alerting the American public to the AIDS epidemic, "An anus is not a vagina and is not engineered to be used as one. The physical injury risks in the form of micro-tears as well as the immunological hazards play a major role in AIDS and hepatitis transmission." So while many people would agree that religious prohibitions alone are not sufficient reason for governmental laws banning specific sexual acts, on what basis would it not be appropriate for a government with the public health interest as a motivation to prohibit a specific sexual act linked to disease transmission if that act is not required for survival of the human species? [REMINDER: This is an international forum so the U.S. Constitution is not the final arbiter of truth or morality nor an international legal standard?]=========================== ONCE AGAIN: A law against anal sex is just one example. My question is about the LEGITIMACY of legislating sexual conduct for public health reasons. ON WHAT BASIS SHOULD IT BE CONSIDERED WRONG OR INADVISABLE?--------------------------------------------- "Pure sophistry" Sounds like someone needs to acquire a dictionary. For something to be SOPHISTRY, it must be an argument. I asked a question. I haven't expressed my personal opinion on the subject, either for or against any particular argument. I simply asked for the BASIS of some argument(s) against such legislation. (People on R&S are easily threatened when asked to explain their thinking. The paranoia is rampant. It is much easier for many to simply emote, resort to name-calling, and evade rational thought and discourse.) more

Resolved Question: Do you think i could have a career in the entertainment industry?

Ever since i was little i have been the center of attention becuase of my intelligence and profound thinking abilities.I even had my own show at dinner times where i would just do stand up comedy.

BUT....there is still a very big part of me that is strangley excited by the idea of wokring in the entertainment industry.I mean, first there would be a lot of things i need to ovrecome in my life anyway but when i do, i really will have an amazing way with people, jokes and i just love entertainment. There is this strange and intense attraction for me, for the arts,entertainment, etc. Do you think there is a chance i should even be thinking this? I often think stories up or do impressions to myself just for the entertainment and i love exploring ideas like how a certain person with a certain personality behaves and would impressions.I'm not just saying it but they're usually very insightful and good.

Resolved Question: Did you know that expired pancake mix can be deadly?

WARNING IN THE KITCHEN -- Please Read A student at HBHS had pancakes this week and it almost became fatal. His Mom (registered nurse) made him pancakes, dropped him off at school and headed to play tennis. She never takes her cell phone on the court but did this time and her son called to say he was having trouble breathing. She told him to go to the nurse immediately and proceeded to call school and alert the nurse. The nurse called the paramedics and they were there in 3 minutes and worked on the boy all the way to the hospital. He came so close to dying. Evidently this is more common then I ever knew. Check the expiration dates on packages like pancakes and cake mixes that have yeast which over time develop spores. . WARNING ABOUT Pancake Mix (and other boxed mixes) (maybe you already know this, I DID NOT !!) Talk about frightening. . Throw away ALL OUTDATED pancake mix you have in your home, PLEASE! If you don't believe me, read this article and then follow the 'Link' below to SNOPES. Sorry to be the Grim Reaper of bad news, but I would rather have you ALIVE, besides a $2.00 box of pancake mix is NOT worth your life.. P. S. You might want to tell this to your children, grandchildren, nephews, nieces and anyone else who keeps pancake mix in the cupboard. WARNING - READ ON. AND CHECK SNOPES TOO. http://www.. snopes.com/ medical/toxins/ pancake.asp From Snopes: cause of death due to anaphylaxic shock reaction to molds. I recently made a batch of pancakes for my healthy 14-year-old son, using a mix that was in our pantry. He said that they tasted 'funny,' but ate them=2 0anyway. About 10 minutes later, he began having difficulty breathing and his lips began turning purple. I gave him his all ergy pill, had him sit on the sofa and told him to relax. He was wheezing while inhaling and exhaling. My husband, a volunteer Firefighter and EMT, heated up some water, and we had my son lean over the water so the steam could clear his chest and sinuses. Soon, his breathing became more regular and his lips returned to a more normal color. We checked the date on the box of pancake mix and, to my dismay, found it was very outdated. As a reference librarian at an academic institution, I have the ability to search through many research databases. I did just that, and found an article the next day that mentioned a 19-year-old male DYING after eating pancakes made with outdated mix. Apparently, the mold that forms in old pancake mix can be toxic! When we told our friends about my son's close call, we were surprised at the number of people who mentioned that they should check their own pancake mix since they don't use it often, or they had purchased it some time ago. With so many people shopping20at warehouse-type stores and buying large sizes of pancake mix, I hope your readers will take the time to check the expiration date on their boxes. Also, beware of outdated Bisquick, cake, brownie and cookie mixes. more

Resolved Question: Home Medical Alert System, available in Germany (East)?

I wonder if anyone could help me with any links or names of companies where i could find a home alert system for my Grandmother. She moved to east Germany ten years ago and lives alone, unfortunately she is quite frail now and is having many falls. She lay on her own for 12 hours a few months ago because she fell and shattered her pelvis, now on boxing day she fell again and broke her arm. She will not consider care of any form as she wants to hold onto her independence, understandably of course. I would desperately like her to have one of these systems that many elderly people appear to have in the U.K but am unable to find details for availability in East Germany. Any help or advice will be hugely appreciated. Thank-you more
