God (when i say God, i could very well be refering to Allah/Buddha/Beelzebub or whatever deity you feel free to worship) knows what the hell i'm likely to write in my blog...i've never had a blog before, never really felt the need to have a blog - come to think of it, it's only from shear boredom i'm even creating this monster!

An extract from World 'has historic chance to halt Aids epidemic'
By Frances Williams in Geneva
Published: May 12 2004 5:00 | Last Updated: May 12 2004 5:00 cited @ http://news.ft.com/:
"The world has an unprec-edented opportunity to reverse the course of the Aids epidemic and change history, Lee Jong-wook, director-general of the World Health Organisation, said yesterday".
Call me cynical, negative, and rather cruel (perhaps even inhumane) but if infected people are kept alive, they will keep infecting healthy people, hence, the disease will spread. By pro-longing the life of people with a disease we will merely increase the chances of spreading the infection to healthy people. If, on the otherhand, we use the same methodology to combat aids as we do with other diseases that we can acquire without dying, then, we will simply need to infect the entire world population with aids. Those who survive will be those immune to it - they will reproduce and form a new human race who is not susceptible to the illness. This simple method has us getting: chicken pox; colds; rubella; and so on - and not surprisingly for the most part with these illnesses we're not dying.
Even humans are not immune to natural selection.

Comments:
I agree... humans are not immune to natural selection. And I use to agree entirely with your view of letting the dying die. But there is something within each human being that makes them want to help their fellow human. This is not a specific human trait, many animals act in such a way to save life for the betterment of the larger community. We cannot look at life objectively, because we are not innately objective creatures. Don't give away your compassion for what you believe is the greater good, Adam, because your instincts are there to look out for the good of yourself and others, and they will tell you to save any life you can.
