"The question is what level of disease likelihood, to what percentage of the population, is great enough that we give the government power to compel medical treatment (ie govern our bodies)?

How severe must the disease be before citizens should consent to abridge their parental authority?

Apparently, using their numbers, 70% of 3,700 possible cases. What percentage of 300,000 million is 2,500? Plus, all of those cases could be prevented just by a regular check up. Are 2,500 people who can be treated worth giving Gardisol 100's of billions of MY dollars to? NO!!!!

Do you even read the posts people write to you?

BUBBLE GUM BANANA FART!

Did you read that? Are you following along now?

There are more than 3,700 women who get cervical cancer every year. But you keep yap yap yappina away about it!

"Routine screening has decreased the incidence of invasive cervical cancer in the United States, where approximately 13,000 cases of invasive cervical cancer and 50,000 cases of cervical carcinoma in situ (i.e., localized cancer) are diagnosed yearly."

"Thanks largely to Pap test screening, the death rate from cervical cancer has decreased greatly over the last 40 years. Still, every year more than 10,000 women in the United States are diagnosed with invasive cervical cancer, and nearly 4,000 die of cervical cancer."

You DO NOT prevent cancer with a regular check up. You find precancerous lesiosns and you treat them. This is not the same thing! You may still have to have the lesions excisedm undergo surgery and chemo, and/or have a hysterectomy. You cannot prevent cancer with check-ups! I said this already! You are not even reading this thread!
