Can you honestly look at our government and say, "yeah, they'll be ethical about it"? I can't.

what your saying is a different story, if that were the case then i would be on his side, by saying that he shouldnt even give a blood test is drawing a line too short. the line should be draw at the point where he feels he cannot live a normal life, askin blood will not prevent that. but in all seriousness if this guy had any ounce of love or care for a fellow man then he should give his blood. and if he doesnt care, well like i said society should show him the same love that he shows. that is all. you can draw a line but seriously dont get all dramatic bossk on well if we get blood where does it stop, cause its not one of those situation, he is an anomally and so there is not chance that scientist would dare take it as far as you are saying cause it just doesnt work like that in real world medical research. maybe in movies and what not but you dont get that in real life.
but as ric was saying HIV tests are not 100% accurate they can say your positive if your not or that your not positive if you are. he probably still has it.
but yeah like is said if this guys doesnt even show enough care that he would give a little bit of blood to better mankind or in attempt to better mankind well to hell him with him.
some one should go take this guy on a feild trip though a ward full of people dieing because of aids. show him people that are getting there brains eaten while they are still alive by bacteria that the body cant fight off(i believe this is call toxoplasmoisis, and almost everyone who has ever touched a cat has it but our immune system beats the shit outta it so its dormant in our bodies), should him images of people dieign cause they pricked there finger on a rusty peice of metal and cant fight off the infection cause they have AIDs show him the suffering that he is alowing to infringe, cause if he hold the cure to aids in his veins then all those deaths should be on his mind, he should haev to carry the deaths of the millions of people on his shoulders cause he will be responsible for them.

see thats a very interesting issue, i honestly dont think that the government would kidnapp the guy an submit him to hours of testing and what not, this is not a fantasy world bossk, things you see in movies dont nessaraly apply, what you should worry about is if a drug company kidnapped him to do that, cause they are the ones that would make billions if they ever found a cure. the only government in the western world that i wouldnt trust is the american gov(sry) but i dont thing that any of the european govs would do it nor would the canadian. its somethign i would expect from the chinese gov, but this situation is in england and i trust that the english gov wouldnt do that.
