Such a shame the Goody Effect did not change the age limit. It could of saved many lives if the age limit was reduced.

That's so stupid.

I thought after so many people seeing Jade Goody's ordeal that it would be changed because clearly cervical cancer can effect younger people. That's really dissapointing.

That's England for you.

There reason is fair enough though, they aren't doing it just to annoy people.

jade was 27 though so yes it was sad that she died from it but she couldnt have really had much effect anyway (plus she ignored 2 lots of dodgy results which meant when she actually did something it was too late)

i dont agree with it not being lower i think it should be from when a girl is sexually active
