Abstract
Today's teen-agers sense the difference between the way it is and the way it ought to be and between rhetoric and reality. Yet, when it comes to sexual freedom versus sexual restraint, they are not always prepared to choose wisely between the alternatives. Should a physician then prescribe oral contraceptives to adolescents without parental consent?
