But that's just the problem. What if they cannot find the cure just by testing his blood? What's next? Poking and prodding to the point where the guy can no longer live his normal life and he effectively becomes a lab rat? That's no way to live. If his rights are violated to the point where they tell him he "must" donate blood, the trend will never stop. We will lose progressively greater amounts of rights until we are all living in a prison state with tags on our ears IDing us. I know this may be a melodramatic overinterpretation, but you can't possibly say there is no chance it could happen. Just because the guy is a fluke doesn't mean he should cede his right to life.

In all honesty, I think it's a sham and he's not really cured but is trying to cash in on media exposure.
