21. No, she did not decide the morality

Tue Nov 12, 2013, 04:28 PM

Nov 2013

in fact, "she" didn't decide anything.

the review board decided not to recommend PSA tests, be done routinely because they weren't effective and could even be harmful.

prostate exams actually, are recommended.

so Lumberjack Jeff, looks like you can't even post honestly to support your claims.
