Merck announced Tuesday that Health Canada has approved the use of Gardasil to prevent genital warts caused by HPV infection on boys and men aged nine to twenty-six. Human papillomavirus is the most commonly sexually transmitted infection, and can cause anal cancer in men. Health Canada previously approved the drug for females aged nine to twenty-six in order to prevent genital warts and cervical cancer. Health Canada has yet to formally announce the preventive measure.
Two top United States generals, addressing a Senate Armed Services Committee Tuesday, expressed “serious concerns” about repealing the military ban on gays serving openly. General George W. Casey Jr., the Army chief of staff, and General Norton A. Schwartz, the Air Force chief of staff, speaking separately, communicated a reluctance towards reversing the policy of “don’t ask, don’t tell” at time when armed service members are engaged in two wars, and when, according to the two, little research exists on how the policy change would affect Air Force personal deployed for service around the world.
Miss Beverly Hills 2010, one Lauren Ashley, tells Fox News that she is opposed to same sex marriage, and quoting the often quoted passage from Leviticus, warns that gays will be put to death. The 23 year old says “the Bible says that marriage is between a man and a woman. In Leviticus it says ‘if man lies with mankind was he would lie with woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death and their blood shall be upon them.’ The Bible is pretty black and white.”
