“…Women become reproductively active in teenage years and to be over the age of 30 is biologically rather old. It is a known medical fact that declining fertility in women begins at about 30 years of age and continues to infertility after menopause, when menstrual periods cease around the age of 50 -51 (Flynn & Brooks, 1990). It is only in very recent times (in evolutionary terms) that women have viewed the years beyond the age of 30 as fully reproductive (since women in first world societies are now in a position to choose when they have children and advances in medical care have reduced possible risk factors).…”

McLellan and McKelvie (1993), in a study investigating the effects of age and gender on attractiveness of photographs of faces, sought to establish whether men favoured faces of greater physical attractiveness in younger women, and women chose slightly older men (consistent with a proposed sociobiological interpretation) or whether people selected faces of the same age. We suggest the authors may wish to reconsider their results in view of our suggestion that their methodological procedure is in error. We also argue in the context of sociobiological theory the following: (1) the implicit assumption that facial attractiveness can be used as an indicator of human mate choice is questionable; (2) age categories of subjects choosing photographs of faces are too broad to test the validity of a sociobiological hypothesis; (3) results are not accurately interpreted. ResumeDans une etude concernant les effets de I'Sge et du sexe des sujets sur l'attrait de photos de visages, McLellan and McKelvie (1993) ont cherche a determiner si les homines jugeaient plus attrayante les visages de jeunes femmes et si les femmes choisissaient des hommes legerement plus ages (conformement a une interpretation sociobiologique proposee) ou bien si les gens choisissaient les visages de personnes du meme age qu'eux. Nous croyons que les auteurs devraient revoir les resultats qu'ils ont obtenus, car nous pensons que leur methode est incorrecte. Dans le contexte de la fh£orie sociobiologique, nous soutenons que: 1) l'hypothese implicite selon laquelle 1'attrait facial peut servir d'indicateur du choix d'un partenaire est contestable; 2) les groupes d'Sge des sujets qui ont choisi des photos de visages sont trop vastes pour qu'il soit possible de verifier la validite de l'hypothese sociobiologique; 3) les resultats ne sont pas interpretes avec exactitude. McLellan and McKelvie (1993) present data on the perceived attractiveness of human faces. They asked three age groups (17 -29; 30 -49; over 50) of men and women to rate the facial attractiveness of photographs of faces of three distinct ages (17 -low 30's; low 30's -high 40's; over 50).

The Natural Family Planning experts' latest preference is for digital thermometers which are quicker and safer than their mercury containing counterparts 9 .…”

CORRESPONDENCE Is cervical cytology screening of teenagers worthwhile?Sir, In response to the commentary by Olamijulo and Duncan (Vol 102, July 1995)': my own practice includes a family planning trained female doctor and two family planning trained female nurses. We undertake a substantial family planning function for the neighbouring high school and have encountered three recommendations, by the cytology laboratory, to refer girls under the age of consent for colposcopy within the last 5 years. Before cytological screening in the under 20 age group is abandoned completely I feel a slightly wider debate is required. It is commonplace, for example, that age at first intercourse continues to fall and therefore the figures quoted by Olamijulo and Duncan should be accorded limited prospective value.Though now questioned, it has been widely regarded as desirable to offer pelvic examination to all those taking, or even planning to take, hormonal preparations. There are potential liability issues implicit in the wording of data sheets. Though preventative care is at the forefront of most medical activity and public consciousness, the worried will accept a wide range of procedures intended to detect presymptomatic disease, the woman who views pelvic examination or smear with the same avidity as other examinations is surpassingly rare-I can recall three.Routine first pelvic examinations which I have undertaken in asymptomatic under twenties have disclosed the following: vaginal septum, vaginal cysts, Bartholin's cysts, sebaceous cysts, barber's rash (sic), dermatitis, psoriasis, Nabothian follicles, previously undisclosed anxieties about normal variations in vulval morphology or pigmentation or vaginal rugae or carunculae hymenale, vulval varicosities, vaginal warts, ovarian cysts, polycystic ovaries, retroverted uterus with subsequently disclosed dyspareunia, gross constipation, anxieties about or presence of STDs, anxieties about physiological discharge and variations of it, cervical erosions/ectopy, cervicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, common vaginal infections, urinary incontinence, dyspareunia or apareunia due to rigid hymen or episiotomy repair and, of course, pregnancy.My own approach is changing in an attempt to facilitate access to contraceptive care for young people by downplaying the most unwelcome element: pelvic examination and smear. Whereas I used to be quite uncompromising about examination at or soon after the initiation of hormonal treatment, I have adopted a process of gently recommending examination at each treatment review but not pressing the issue, in the absence of symptoms, until a year or two has elapsed. Is this causing me to miss things which earlier examination would allow to be resolved? Those who do volunteer at an early stage I praise warmly and urge to inform their friends of the benign nature of the procedure. I also encourage them to bring a friend-very occasionally a boyfriend will act as moral support.The youngest regularly sexually active female that I have encountered was just u...

Attitudes Towards the Regulation of Family Fertility. Reality and Pastoral Guidelines

Approval of fertility recognition and opposition to interfering with it have been expressed in many documents of the Church (Pius XI 1930, Paul VI 1968, John Paul II 1988, John Paul II 1995). The question remains: to what extent have the moral principles in the field of transmitting human life been interiorized and implemented? The answer to this question is possible thanks to the analysis of the results of surveys of various social groups. The article encourages spouses and parents, priests and educators, politicians and journalists, academic teachers and medical staff to constantly undertake, and even intensify, support activities in the field of expanding knowledge about the methods of ethical birth control and strengthening the attitude of responsible parenthood.
