AIDS Super Strain

[Mercy me]

I don't believe that they would quarantine people if an AIDS superstrain was to emerge. As a matter of fact, I am possitive, for the simple reason that AIDS is the only disease that has civil rights. Back in the mid-80's when AIDS was discovered it was 100% fatal and not onnly was there no cure but they didn't know how it was spread. But the gay movement was so vocal about discrimination as a result of AIDS that they were were in effect able to ensure that the civil rights of those infected trumped the rights of the general population. Remember when we knew that it was caused by contact with blood of an infected individual. There was panic that it could be transsmitted by mosquito.

Because of "if this is the only possible way of effectively defending human lives against the unjust aggressor"... We can lock them up for life. If they are locked up for life there is a chance of repentance and salvation for their soul. If we kill them before they have a chance to repent, then they could very well end up in hell.

We should do all in our power to keep people from going to hell. At the same time, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink... but... you can salt the oats.

Someone like Osama would need to be executed to protect society, some crazed rapist could be locked up to protect society because it's doubtful that terrorists would kill dozens if not hundreds of people to get a rapist out of jail... whereas if Osama is in prison, innocents would be in danger.

Some people of course will try to use the "but he'll be a martyr" plea, which is only true for the wack jobs that are terrorist, not the general public. Just as Hitler is a martyr for racist bigots which are a minority.
