Hmm, interesting. I do believe that you should have the ultimate say over what is or isn't done to your body. But if this man could potentially hold the cire to AIDS, should a sample be taken by force to meet the 'needs of the many'? I'm incline dto say yes, because of the possible benefits, but, ultimately, from a rights point of view, I would have to sya no. The guy must be a real dick to refuse though.

This is definitely an interesting story. The next step in the discussion was that they should try everything to get him to cooperate, including saying "We'll give you a dollar (or Pound Sterling) for every person we innoculate. At that point if he still doesn't go along with it he should be compelled to assist. However, what happens if they say to him "Well, yes we took your blood and DNA, but we didn't quite get what we were looking for. We want you to stay with us from now on, because we need more and can't risk losing you. You'll be staying in this luxury apartment, but you can never leave". What would that mean? Very, very tricky.
