My girlfriends mum died last march after a long battle with cervical cancer, took numerous visits to specialists and doctors for them to diagnose it correctly.......by which time it seems it was too late!

All cancer are horrible diseases, anything that can be done to help eradicate/prevent/treat it should be promoted.
I'd rather my tax money went on 60quid a go smear tests and stuff than gastric bands for obese folk!
