Here's the problem with your argument though.... cancer is a lot more difficult to trace to a source. Smoking, yeah. And think about what we've done with regard to gov't control on that issue. You want the same controls on gay sex? The requirement of condoms and the gov't will fine you if you don't and further... throw you in jail if you spread the disease?
Look, I'm not advocating his argument. I'm saying that when we can mitigate the harm from a risky behavior it makes it more likely that people will engage in the behavior - no more no less. You, for example, would be far more likely to jump out of an airplane with a parachute than without one. A cure for AIDs is a bit like a parachute
