I think what he's saying is that when solutions to bad/risky/dangerous behavior are discovered it makes it more likely that people will engage in that behavior not that everyone with AIDs caught it as a result of bad behavior.
Let me illustrate.... if we had a cure for an exploding liver due to cirrhosis fewer alcoholics would be encouraged to take better care of themselves and thus continue to engage in risky behavior that put others at risk as well. |
That may be what he
meant, but it's not what he wrote. Which is why I said to think before you type. He wrote
Cures should only be given out to the innocent and not the guy who buys hookers and cheats and so on... And that is bullshit. I hope that he doesn't think that if a cure is found then it should selectively be given out depending on past behavior. I've watched my best friend of 28 years go through hell dealing with HIV that he contracted due to his ignorance when he was younger... not something he intentionally did. And even if he had intentionally gone to hookers or cheated on someone, nobody deserves to live with that disease, and nobody should be counted out if by some chance there was a cure available. period.
