No more birds and bees? Sex education for 4-year-olds
Children as young as four should be given compulsory sex education in order to reduce abortion rates and sexually transmitted infections amongst teenagers.
The Family Planning Association and Brook, two leading sexual health charities, are pushing for an earlier and more gradual and thorough introduction of sex education in British schools. At the age of four, children would be taught about the name of body parts and basic ideas about different relationships. The charities claim that the government is not providing enough information about sex and relationships to young people, leaving many teenagers with unrealistic expectations about sex and insufficient knowledge of how to protect themselves against STIs and unwanted pregnancies.
Brook chief executive Simon Blake said: "All the evidence shows that if you start sex and relationships education early - before children start puberty, before they feel sexual attraction - they start having sex later. They are much more likely to use contraception and practise safe sex."

Pregnant man gives birth to baby girl
Infamous pregnant transgender man Thomas Beatie, 34, gave birth to a health baby girl on Sunday. According to a source, Beatie gave birth naturally and reports that he had a caesarean section are false.
Beatie was born female, but has been living as a man for several years and has legally changed his gender from female to male. He has also had his breasts surgically removed and has taken hormones in order to aid the transition process. However, having kept his female reproductive organs, he decided to give birth after it became evident that his wife, Nancy, was not able to have any more biological children. He was impregnated with sperm from an anonymous donor.
Beatie made headlines when first pictures of the 'pregnant man' appeared in April. In a controversial interview with Oprah, he famously declared that he thinks it is his 'right' to have a biological child even though he is a man.
