Also, "Post coitum omne animal triste est" is most often attributed to Saint Augustine. - Jeffrey Andreoni Wed, 03 Feb 2010 11:18:12 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/harm-reduction-not-enough.html#comment-2451 Promiscuity closely correlates with depression and suicide rates. The greater the number of sexual partners, the greater the risk for depression and suicide. It is widely assumed that monogomous marriage is the gold standard for pyschological health. Interestingly however, although the data is sparse, there is some evidence that the depression and suicide rates of adult virgins are even lower than those of monogamous married people. - Dan Thu, 30 Jul 2009 23:31:45 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/harm-reduction-not-enough.html#comment-2450 Yes, and methadone kills! Sometimes the death rate from methodone can be higher than from heroin itself. Some cure, huh. - Bob Nelson Thu, 30 Jul 2009 20:56:36 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/harm-reduction-not-enough.html#comment-2448 UCLA psychiatrist Dr. Miriam Grossman is one of the few who has broken this silence. She wrote a great book called “Unprotected”about the effects of the PC harm reduction mentality on young people at our college campuses. (it was first published anonymously - which tells you a lot) - Beverly Moore Thu, 30 Jul 2009 16:21:34 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/harm-reduction-not-enough.html#comment-2445 I have been astonished at the silence of the medical profession in the face of an epidemic of sexually transmitted disease. I know of only two physicians who have dared to broach the subject. Promiscuity has resulted in some cases in incurable conditions, robbing young people of health at the very beginning of adult life. Homosexual activity is associated with serious harm to the human body. And yet most doctors are silent. - linda smith Thu, 30 Jul 2009 08:56:53 +0100
