19th century medical science

According to things I've read/seen on TV lately, 19th century medical science believed the following:

- Women will become infertile if they learn how to type
- Women who are given chloroform as an anesthetic during childbirth may become sexually aroused.

I wonder what medical science believes today that will sound equally ridiculous 150 years from now?

Abortion causes breast cancer.

Sex education causes unchecked sexual activity.

Same-sex marriage causes... fill in the blank.

"Medical science", not "loony wingnuts". I know the two concepts do overlap back where you come from... :p
