But would you want to be able to research breast cancer, or your male friends and relatives to be able to research testicular cancer? Filters are very crude tools. They falsely identify sites as porn that aren't. They are also not totally effective - some porn sites will get past. So filters don't achieve the ends desired by those who impose them, and prevent access to non-pornographic information about health.
