One disturbing but yet very informative lesson was the part on the diseases and STDs. Learning about harmful diseases is very important so we know what the signs of an STD is, to be able to diagnose ourselves with what our problem is. Also when learning about the diseases we learn how there are transmitted and how we can prevent them. The last important lesson from the Human Sexuality unit that I'll remember is all the body parts of the male and female sexual reproductive organs.
In my own life I used critical thinking perhaps less often than I should have when making sexual decisions, however, there was one area that I am proud to say I always exhibited control over- contraception. From an early age I was taught about sex and equally about contraception and why it was needed. Nothing was taboo, I could ask my mother about anything and be welcomed with honesty, maturity, and calm. So I knew early on that I did not want to have children before I decided to have them, there would be no unplanned teenage pregnancy for me! When I became sexually active I made absolutely sure that we had protection (being skeptical of my partner’s assurances), sometimes providing condoms myself.
IT is however important to note that Natural Law thinkers are not concerned with the consequences of actions, whether they bring good or bad doesn’t matter but what matters to them is whether the action itself is good or bad. Kantian Ethics would also further disagree with Fertility Treatment as the Categorical Imperative says that people must be treated as ends in themselves. If an embryo is a life then the destruction of spare embryos during IVF would be seen as using them as a means to an end. Further if the embryo was experimented upon instead, and the embryo
Comprehensive sex education is mostly trying to stop the spreading of sexually transmitted diseases and unplanned pregnancies. The class does teach that abstinence is the best way of making 100 percent sure a person does not get pregnant or get a sexually transmitted disease.

Abstinence by itself is another way of teaching that can prevent the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases and unplanned pregnancy.

The school’s job is to inform students about the process of having sex, the organs, and the outcome when being sexually active. Students that stay in abstinence only programs are highly likely to not be in risk of having sexually transmitted diseases.

Sex education needs to be comprehensive and educate students about all pieces of sex including contraception, sexually transmitted diseases, and pregnancy. What is surprising is anyone can earnestly share the belief that an effective means of preventing the consequences of sexual activity should be restricted to teaching about abstinence. It is without a doubt, teenagers are going to have sex whether or not parents tell them to. Even though abstinence is the best technique to prevent unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases, a proper sex education class is more ideal because abstinence programs are not as beneficial and conclusive to a teenager’s well-being.
