Brits going crazy over sex, too

Well, so much for reason. British law may change to deny teenagers confidentiality when talking to health workers about sex. I think that's a pretty obviously terrible idea that will lead to a lot of riskier than necessary activity, but don't take my word for it:

The poll of 729 under-25s found that 64% would be less likely to seek advice on issues such as contraception, pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections if they knew professionals could pass on information. The figure rose to 74% for under 16s.

Not treating teens with such respect will inevitably lead to greater harm. It really is that simple.
