- 962: Hepatitis B
- ... Infection Although relatively rare in the United States, hepatitis B is endemic in parts of Asia where hundreds of millions of individuals may be infected. HBV is transmitted horizontally by blood and blood products and sexual transmission. It is also transmitted vertically from mother to infant in the perinatal period which is a major mode of transmission in regions where hepatitis B is endemic. The blood supply in developed countries has been screened for HBV for many years and at present transmission by blood transfusion is extremely rare. Major routes of transmission among adults in Western countries are intravenous drug use and sexual contact. The risk of HBV infection is notably high in promiscuous homosexual men but it is also transmitted sexually from men to women and women to men.

It is present in many AIDS patients because most of them have risk factors in their lives such as drug abuse, sexual behavior or other shocks to the system that expose them to many microbes.

- ... is a compelling reason, women should be permitted to choose early abortion. For instance, when a woman is raped she is under no obligation morally, and legally to accept the consequences of an act of sexual intercourse, in which she did not voluntarily participate.

- Of Androids and Fossils: (Re)Producing Sexual Identity in Blade Runner and Jurassic Park With the shift from industrial to postindustrial capitalism, our culture has become increasingly concerned with the problem of how to represent subjects in a technologized world. Traditionally, dominant ... the general public. In particular, the cyborgs of popular films such as Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner and Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park reflect our complex and sometimes contradictory hopes and fears about reproduction and sexual identity in the postindustrial episteme. In these movies, the technological replication of bodies is presented as a threat to humanity, as androids and dinosaurs usurp “traditionally” human cognitive abilities and blur the boundaries between animals ...

In some families of women with bulimia, the problem may be more serious than rigidity, over protectiveness, or inadequate nurturing. Child sexual abuse, an increasingly common explanation for psychiatric symptoms in women, has naturally been proposed as a cause of eating disorders. The connection has not been confirmed, and some recent studies raise serious doubts about it. Women with bulimia do not report more sexual abuse than an anxious and depressed woman in general.
