I have received/will receive the swine flu vaccination.

I use homeopathic remedies. For some things, I think they can work wonders. I'd still want antibiotics for sinus and ear infections, etc.

I have not had my teeth whitened by a dentist.

I worry about growing older.

食品医薬品局は、同性愛者と両性愛者からの献血を禁止するべきではない。 Blood going into the system for donation should be tested for all known blood-related diseases anyway before receiving approval for use. This particular prohibition doesn't do anything. Not to mention, the whole system is based on the "honor code". I'm sure there are tons of heterosexual men and women who may have had a one-time sexual encounter with a homosexual or bisexual man and answer "no" when asked so they can freely donate. However, the current prohibition calls for NOT donating if a person has ever had ANY TYPE of sexual encounter with a homosexual man... even once. The prohibition is an ineffective way to promote healthy blood donation and likely leads to denial and ignorance in most cases.

赤ワインを飲むことによる潜在的恩恵はある。

Animals do have souls.

公立学校は肺炎ワクチンを投与するべきである。 Many schools require MMR (mumps, measles, rubella) vaccinations. Pneumonia seems to be the MMR of the 21st century, so I don't see why requirements and programs for administering these vaccines aren't in place yet.

肺炎と診断された子供たちは学校に戻る前に健康診断書をもらうことを義務付けられるべきである。

「世界肺炎日」キャンペーンは肺炎の比率を減らすのに役立つ。 I think people tend to forget how serious a threat pneumonia is in so-called "developing countries". Just look at how many people donate money to combat malaria nowadays.

肺炎と診断された場合、薬以外の治療を考えない。 Generally speaking, my body only responds to "natural" and holistic treatments when I have a minor health issue. Most types of pneumonia are dangerous beasts. Personally, I'd rather avoid ending up in a hospital for a week (and potentially catching something worse while there) because I waited it out. SHUT-'ER-DOWN!

Drinking in moderation is not a viable treatment for alcoholism.

"Third-hand smoke" is not a viable concern.

豚インフルエンザ発生のマスコミ報道は大げさだった。

メキシコでの豚インフルエンザの発生は世界的流行になるだろう。

米国はインフルエンザの流行に備えていない。 Then again... how exactly does any country prepare for a viral outbreak if the strain keeps changing?

Meditation does improve your health.

科学者は風邪のワクチンを発見するだろう。

医療改革は米国経済の改善に直接関係する。

Pope Benedict's comments about condoms increasing the problem of AIDS in Africa were not accurate.

There are persuasive non-religious reasons for male circumcision.

舌を磨くことは口臭予防に役立つ。

Health insurance should cover laser eye surgery. It's a quality of life thing and in the same vein as contact lenses and glasses. Things that can be deemed as necessary expenses. Why would they potentially cover lenses and glasses for a person's entire life but not at least a portion of a one-time surge

女性は妊娠中にアルコールを飲むことを控えるべきである。

Alli (orlistat) is not an effective weight loss pill. Orlistat supposedly works by blocking fat absorption when ingested before eating a high-fat meal. If weight is an issue, how about just substituting the fried foods and whole dairy products for baked foods and low-fat / non-fat dairy products? The results

雇用者の医療保険は、精神的健康と肉体的健康に同等のベネフィットを与えるべきだ。

Low-carb diets are not an effective method of losing weight. Not for the long-term, at least.

Television ads do not contribute to childhood obesity. I'm glad economists are commenting on the fact that television ads may contribute to childhood obesity, rather than the cost of healthier food options and parents or schools teaching kids about healthier eating. There's plenty of blame to go around, but l

Obesity should not be classified as a disability. I'm well aware that there's a great deal of discrimination towards people who are categorically obese. However, classifying it as a disability would entitle this group of people to a wide array of things that are absolutely unnecessary in helping their co

人間には魂がある。 Most... not all.

Pets do improve their owners' health.

Tap water should be fluoridated.

米国の食品試験規格は、効果的ではない。

中毒は病気である。 And just like many other diseases, there isn't always a perfect one "cure" fits all.

Viagra should not be available over-the-counter.

Plan B should not be available over-the-counter to women under the age of 18. The reason I think Plan B should not be available over-the-counter under the age of 18 is because OTC purchases do not require drug counseling on post-use or side effects. I have no problem if Plan B was available to girls under 18 at places like Planned

健康に良くないと見なされている食べ物に「脂肪税」を課すべきではない。 The government can't even regulate Financial Institutions correctly, which fell victim to a similar type of gluttony they'd be trying to prevent with this. Taxes on foods "deemed unhealthy" won't do anything other than give the government more funding to

The use of Bisphenol A in plastic bottles does pose a risk to human health. Most signs seem to say it's likely. If it's unnecessary to use BPA in plastic products, then why not be safer than sorry?

Organic milk is safer than regular milk. Personally, I favor organic products even without any concrete scientific evidence to prove that they are "safer" or "healthier" for human consumption.

マスターベーションは健全である。 I'm thinking this really wouldn't be a debate if not for the heavy religious connotations some put on sexual activity. Also, doctors and researchers are starting to find positive links between masturbation and various medical conditions, both physical an
