I think your doctor is not really giving good advice with the potential for "no pap smears at all" with regard to no peen. Even nuns who have never had sex with anyone still get cervical cancer, albeit at much reduced rates. There's that 13% of lesbians who have HPV (http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=1446473) in one study, and women who have never had sex with men still have a rate of about half that (those women may have had the bad luck to catch it from another woman).

I suppose one advantage of not having a TV is that I've never seen any Gardasil marketing. I can't see any cons with getting it done at present (I'm not a fan of vaccinations in general, but for a virus that can cause cancer rather than a temporary illness, I think it's worthwhile).

And I totally think that kind of patenting is evil. I mean, seriously. :-(

Regarding screening for breast cancer, I've had an ultrasound that found nothing, and these days MRIs are being increasingly recommended. Of course, they cost about 6 zillion times the cost of mammograms (but I'm not having x-rays shot at my tits for as long as I can possibly avoid it).
