1) what about accidental contact? Has it come to the point that you would rather watch a child bleed to death than use your hand to stop the bleeding? I don't think I could watch a child die, myself.
2) maybe "we" should examine what leads people to use iv drugs, instead of just blaming the people themselves. Please note the word "just": I'm not saying let people avoid all consequences.
3) Sure. Get thee to a nunnery. You first, ok? It is human instinct to desire sex. If no one has sex humanity ceases to exist. It seems ridiculous that to save humanity we all must die.
3a) What if the condoms are poorly made or unavailable? Have you ever tried buying a condom in the Amazon? How about a small town (now won't that go down coffee row fast!)? More important, the quality of condoms in many countries is poorly regulated. Remember when the Olympics were in Salt Lake and they gave out free condoms and they disappeared super fast? That's because they were good, reliable condoms. People took them to their home countries for themselves and their friends. Although I'm sure at least a few of them were also used in the US too ... :)
3ai) Again, we need to look at why people reuse condoms. Is it lack of education? Is it poverty? Is it that condoms are difficult to get wherever they are? Should humanity feel any responsibility for stopping this or are you just going to blame the victims?
So, getting back to my first question sort of: do you think that we should fund research now in case it becomes airborne or should we just wait until that happens (if it does)?
Wow, sorry for the long "answer." By the way, I like your post a lot. These are just the faults/further questions it raised in me. Thanks for responding. |
