Christian ethics and the HPV vaccine
Received a blog comment this morning from Simeon Payne who is Baptist Chaplain at the University of Western Sydney, a member of its Human Research Ethics Committee and guest lecturer in Scientific Ethics, on an old entry in which I mentioned my frustration at how some fundamentalist Christian “family groups” were opposed to the breakthrough life-saving, cancer-preventing, Australian designed Human Papilloma Virus vaccine.
Anyway, Simeon quotes from an article he wrote for the Baptist Union of NSW, giving a Christian perspective on why the vaccine is a good thing. He puts it so much better than I could have so I would encourage everyone to read what he has to say here . Thanks Simeon for sharing it with us.
