Enforcement and Medical Opinion? Mr. Otash's answer was

an embattled, "If you think these people are all right, you should change the law." Mr. Selwyn and the rest of the panel agreed wholeheartedly. After all, the police don't draft the laws, but are duty bound to enforce thom. The laws should be changed where warranted, they felt, so that the police would not have this problem. Regarding the original question, Dr. Zifferstein felt that the 'difference lay in the occupational hazard of each job. The policeman, he felt, frequently became involved in the "cops and robbers" chase at the expense of human values. The psychiatrist and social workers were inclined to become involved in the human values to the exclusion of all else. He felt, however, that if one had to be biased, the latter bias was a better one. Mr. Selwyn felt that there needed to be a balance between social protection and the rights of the individual and that all groups involved should keep that need uppermost in mind. At one point in the discussion Mr. Otash interjected a very important question to Dr. Zifferstein. The question was essentially this: Do you feel that sex should be taughchildren in the schools and do you believe this would help the present situation? Dr. Zifferstein said that he did, but that he also felt that sex training should start in the home with a forthright and honest answer to the child's first question on the subject, and should continue in that manner without fear or shame attached. However, he continued, considering the way most parents were fouled up about Bex and the manner in which they did or did not answer their children left one with the definite feeling that better they had "stood in bed" than said anything on the

subject.
