By not allowing sex education in our schools we are desperately hindering our children from the basic knowledge that any person should know, whether they are young or old.

This paper examines the Canadian Blood Service’s (CBS) current one-year deferral policy towards men who have sexual contact with other men (MSM). Homosexual or bisexual men can donate blood and blood products only after not having any form of sexual contact with other men for one year (Canadian Blood Services, 2016).

strength and potency of the disease have rarely been in question. Syphilis, while not viewed as a huge threat due to a decreased number of cases in the mid-late 1990s, needs to be taken more seriously by the public because it is more dangerous than many realize, especially because it is extremely contagious, it is extremely elegant in the symptoms it produces, it has played a larger part in history than many would think, and there is a certain stigma which surrounds the disease, which in turn pushes individuals
